Description: Performing China : Virtue, Commerce, and Orientalism in Eighteenth-Century England, 1, Hardcover by Yang, Chi-ming, ISBN 1421402165, ISBN-13 9781421402161, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The fascinating premise of this study is that the Chinese influenced English concepts of virtue in the 18th century. Through analysis of plays, fiction, and a lecture tour (by an imposter pretending to be a converted heathen), Yang (English, U. of Pennsylvania) examines the interpretation of China's history, ethic, and cultural accomplishments in English culture and thought. Impressive in the range of examples of English, European, and Chinese writing and culture, the study defines English notions of non-European peoples and culture as well as its concept of China's, making this work of interest to a broad readership.
