Autorenporträt
Herbert Allen Giles (1845–1935) was a renowned British diplomat and sinologist particularly revered for his contributions to the field of Chinese literature and language studies. Giles served as a British vice-consul in various cities in China from the 1867 onwards, a period that allowed him to immerse himself deeply in the Chinese language and culture. His enduring interest in Sinology led him to produce numerous works, the most notable among them being 'A History of Chinese Literature' (1901), which remains a pivotal reference for scholars exploring the depth and diversity of China's literary heritage. Giles' scholarship was not confined to literature alone; he also developed the Wade-Giles romanization system, widely used in the Anglophone world before the adoption of Pinyin. His literary style was marked by thoroughness and a scholarly approach, which sought to make Chinese literature accessible to Western audiences. As a professor of Chinese at the University of Cambridge from 1897 to 1932, Giles' influence extended to many who went on to become the next generation of sinologists. His contributions to the study of China were recognized in 1922, when he was elected as an honorary fellow of the British Academy. Giles' work remains an important cornerstone in the cross-cultural bridge between East and West, and his scholarly legacy continues to be celebrated for having opened a window into China's rich literary world.
