F. W. Mote — Imperial China 900-1800

Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2000. Cloth. A smart copy of this detailed history of Imperial China from American historian Frederick Wade "Fritz" Mote. Early edition. With illustrations throughout. A nine hundred year history of China, spanning the late Imperial period, which highlights the personal characteristics of the rulers and dynasties, with probes into the cultural theme of Chinese adaptations to recurrent alien rule. With reference to important generational events and the spirit of the age, to create a comprehensive history of the civilization as shaped by its relation to outsiders. Written by Frederick Wade "Fritz" Mote, an American sinologist and a professor of History at Princeton University.
