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. 410 0$aEuropean expansion and indigenous response ;$vv. 9. 517 3 $aChina in European encyclopedias, 1700-1850 606 $aHistoriography$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aHistoriography$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEncyclopedias and dictionaries$xHistory and criticism 607 $aChina$xCivilization$xHistoriography$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aChina$xCivilization$xHistoriography$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aEncyclopedias and dictionaries$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a951.007204 700 $aLehner$b Georg$0622229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781689003321 996 $aChina in European encyclopaedias, 1700-1850$93686144 997 $aUNINA
