Rather than viewing the journal as a collection of documents for studying a thinker (e.g., Zhang Taiyan), a concept (e.g., national essence), or an intellectual movement (e.g., cultural conservatism), this book focuses on the global network of commerce and communication that allowed independent publications to appear in the Chinese print market. As such, this book offers a different perspective on the Chinese quest for modernity. It shows that, from the start, the Chinese quest for modernity was never completely orchestrated by the central government, nor was it static and monolithic as the teleology of revolution describes.Leiden Series in Comparative Historiography6.Intellectual lifeChinaIntellectual life20th centuryElectronic books.Intellectual life.951/.035Hon Tze-Ki1958-979783MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463244103321Revolution as restoration2289661UNINA
