Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (28)This volume of the Cambridge History of China considers the political, military, social, and economic developments of the Ch'ing empire to 1800. The period begins with the end of the resurgent Ming dynasty, covered in volumes 7 and 8, and ends with the beginning of the collapse of the imperial system in the nineteenth century, described in volume 10. Taken together, the ten chapters elucidate the complexities of the dynamic interactions between emperors and their servitors, between Manchus and non-Manchu populations, between various elite groups, between competing regional interests, between merchant networks and agricultural producers, between rural and urban interests, and, at work among all these tensions, between the old and new. This volume presents the changes underway in this period prior to the advent of Western imperialist military power. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Each chapter being written by a different author, the book has something of the feel of a collection of papers, but Peterson has done a good job of getting them to use a consistent terminology. In a few cases they disagree on substance, e.g. the chapter on social change says that by the end of the period the economy was at least as commercialized as in western Europe, while that on economic history says it significantly lagged Europe. It's incidentally noteworthy that external comparisons almost exclusively are with Europe or parts thereof - one might have thought there were meaningful ones to be made with say Moghul India.
All in all I was very happy with it. The only complaint, really, is that I wish they'd used pinyin.
