It examines English, French, and German encyclopaedias published between 1700 and 1850 and explores the use and presentation of information on China in works of general knowledge. The first chapters explore the origins of early European perceptions of China until 1850, the development of European encyclopaedias, and the sources used for entries on China. The second major part of the book examines the ways in which encyclopaedias presented information on things Chinese (geography, government, economy, history, language and literature, arts and sciences) and how this information was shaped, expanded, perpetuated, revised, and updated.European expansion and indigenous response ;v. 9.China in European encyclopedias, 1700-1850HistoriographyEuropeHistory18th centuryHistoriographyEuropeHistory19th centuryEncyclopedias and dictionariesHistory and criticismChinaCivilizationHistoriographyEuropeHistory18th centuryChinaCivilizationHistoriographyEuropeHistory19th centuryHistoriographyHistoryHistoriographyHistoryEncyclopedias and dictionariesHistory and criticism.951.007204Lehner Georg622229MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823171703321China in European encyclopaedias, 1700-18504058078UNINA
