Opis

A groundbreaking revisionist history of the workings of governance in Imperial China centered on the Song Dynasty (960-1279 BCE).

Recenzje

'Hartman's deconstruction of the Confucian narrative allows him to shed light on the large range of forces that shaped the Song institutions and changed the nature of the Chinese monarchy. By revealing the complexity of that transition, his book will become the most authoritative Song political history in any language.' Christian Lamouroux, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris
