Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 474 pages. No djA work unique in the sweep of its design and scope, intended expressly for th e general reader interested in human history and culture, this is a vivid panora mic survey of the vast course of Chinese civilization from prehistory to 1850, w hen the old China began the agonizing transition to the new. Historical surveys of China tend to be dynasty-by-dynasty chronicles with a profusion of names and dates and occaisional cultural tidbits, or to concentrate on the period from ear liest times to the Han dynasty (or the T'ang), giving only scant coverage to the last thousand years. China's Imperial Past is different. Not only does it treat the three major periods of Chinese history at roughly equal length, weaving all their complexity into a balanced, integrated whole, but it gives ample space to China's magnificent literary and artistic achievements. The author's approach is primarily interpretive, emphasizing patterns of change and development rather than factual details, but he never loses sight of the particularities that made traditional Chinese civilization one of the richest in human history. Especiall y notable are the many translations of Chinese poetry, among them more than twen ty exquisite poems from the great poets of the T'ang. The author divides Chines e history into three major epochs: a formative age, from high antiquity to the u nification of China under the Ch'in in the third century B.C.; an early imperial age, from the Han dynasty (202 B.C.-A.D. 220) through the T'ang (618-907) and i ts breakdown; and a later imperial age, from the Sung dynasty (960-1279) to the mid-nineteenth century. Each major epoch is considered in topical chapters-on ge neral history, political institutions, socioeconomic organization, religion and.…
