This collection of essays represents current research in modern (post-1800) Chinese history. All contributors are former students of Professor C. Martin Wilbur, one of the great names in the China field over the past forty years, who recently retired from a long tenure as modern Chinese historian at Columbia University. While diverse in their subject matter, the essays reflect the historiographic concerns of a group of scholars whose views were formed at least partly in response to the view of modern China presented by Professor Wilbur and others of his academic generation. In a sense, the essays constitute the late fruits of pioneering efforts. Appropriately, an important theme addressed by several of the authors is how modern China is and has been perceived. Most of the essays embody, at least in part, a revision of previously held views.
Joshua A.Fogel and William T. Rowe are both Ph.D. candidates at Columbia University.Published in cooperation with the East Asian Institute, Columbia University. (From 1979 edition).
