Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-13 00:00:00 Samson Nano Ebrey is always sensitive to the implications of events for ordinary people and for women. She constructs her history like a vast collage of voices, and strives to include every sort of person in the tale. Her narrative features numerous sidebars offering fascinating sub-plots, on topics like Tang-era love stories, house construction, The "Biographies of Heroic Women" by Liu Xiang (79-8 BC), codes of crime and punishment, legendary demons, village fairs, popular dramas such as "Injustice to Dou E.," modern painting, or the life of feminist writer Ding Ling (1904-85). Almost every page is quietly entertaining. |
Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-17 00:00:00 Jolie Schoffelen I've been a sinophile for years now and it was high time I read up on some Chinese history. It's a very readable presentation and you can get the older edition for just a few bucks. And why not? The history hasn't changed, right? I wish it had more maps throughout the chapters as well as some timelines. There is only one awkward timeline at the end written in bullet points. I would've liked a general timeline for each dynasty and all the dynasties together. I solved this problem a little by printing out a map and the timeline used on the wikipedia article on Chinese dynasties and used these two pieces of paper as bookmarks. Good breakfast reading. |
