19th Century English-Language Journals from the East
The six journals included in this collection cover a period of 84 years in the 19th century and together they provide a unique perspective—from the eyes of Westerners—for modern scholars to review the history of Asia, in particular China, in the 19th century. Five of these journals were founded and run in Asia, away from Europe and America; however, they had played an undisputed role in promoting the awareness and study of Asia and especially China among the Westerners. Moreover, China Review is arguably the first major sinology journal in the true sense.
