Double-weighted statement
This book makes a key intervention into an area of Victorian Studies dominated by work on India. It covers a broad timeframe, roughly 1842 to 1911. It surveys a comprehensive range of materials, including hundreds of novels, tales, travelogues, early films, periodicals, and music-hall songs, about China and the Chinese and surrounding such events as the Boxer and Opium Wars. The chapter on drama involved extensive archival work in the Lord Chamberlain’s Plays collection. The book brings together literary and historical approaches to recover China’s significance to the Victorians and to explain current discourses concerning “the rise of China”.
