This fascinating book uses extensive and sensitive reading of the often hard-to-find 19th-century literature on China to tell the extraordinary story of the discovery and deepening understanding of this great 'cultural other', correcting the widespread but mistaken option that the West only began to understand China in the twentieth century. Ji documents with incisive clarity the importance of the broad humanistic foundation that informed these early pioneers., This is an astute, well-researched, and highly informative investigation of the writings of those collectively termed British Sinologists, who before the twentieth century engaged with Chinese sources to build up their own style of literary knowledge of China's traditions. A fine scholarly achievement and a true intercultural feast., This is an astute, well researched, and highly informative investigation of the writings of those collectively termed British Sinologists, who before the twentieth century engaged with Chinese sources to build up their own style of literary knowledge of China's traditions.

Synopsis
Chinese Literature in English Sinology takes an exciting new approach to Sino-British literary and cultural encounters in the nineteenth century, focusing specifically on British Sinologists' study of Chinese literature in the English language. It provides the first comprehensive exploration of their writings on Chinese literature as a form of literary knowledge constructed through the process of cultural translation--a translingual and transcultural rewriting. The analysis reveals the interaction between Chinese and English literary concepts and paradigms in their study that gave rise to ideas about Chinese literature still influential today. Drawing attention to the political implication of literary knowledge, this book also demonstrates that Sinologists' interpretation of Chinese literature played an important role in shaping the British cultural imagination of China. Tracing this uncharted history, Chinese Literature in English Sinology contributes to present and future debates on the intercultural reading and studies of Chinese literature by offering a genealogical understanding of its origins and ramifications., Provides the first comprehensive account of the discursive formation of knowledge about Chinese literature produced by British Sinologists in the nineteenth century.

    Item exactly as described. It took a week after purchasing before it was shipped and another week in transit, yet the item was only supposed to be about 100 miles away??? Other than slow shipping time, the item was priced to sell, packaged adequately for shipping and exact as advertised. Would purchase from this seller again.

    Seller great with communication. Only gripe I have is the media Mail shipping time. Domestic shipping within the US should not take over 2 weeks. I realize not the sellers fault but would be nice to have faster shipping option. Otherwise, good seller and item was as described.
