Award-winning author Jonathan D. Spence paints a vivid picture of an obscure place and time: provincial China in the seventeenth century. Life in the northeastern county of T'an-ch'eng emerges here as an endless cycle of floods, plagues, crop failures, banditry, and heavy taxation. Against this turbulent background a tenacious tax collector, an irascible farmer, and an unhappy wife act out a poignant drama at whose climax the wife, having run away from her husband, returns to him, only to die at his hands. Magnificently evoking the China of long ago, The Death of Woman Wang also deepens our understanding of the China we know today.
Jonathan D. Spence was born in Surrey, England, in 1936. He was educated at Winchester College and at Cambridge University and received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1965. He is George Burton Adams Professor of HIstory at Yale, where he is also chairman of the Council on East Asian Studies and director of the Division of the Humanities.

评分中国式的历史大多是对朝代变换,风云人物的记录,尽管有一些野史,但毕竟被打上在野的标签,不被我们关注。但在写法上,仍然给人一种非常遥远缥缈的虚空感,看这些文字,我的脑海里通常展现一帮穿着古装,说着之乎者也的文言,这是我从中式历史中感受到的。 而史景迁找到一种方...

评分历史学著作的英文就是要难懂的多
评分刚开始以为只讲woman wang,后面发现原来是好几个故事,以明朝为背景,夹杂着蒲松龄已经一些作家的地方志,总的来说很好懂,也展示了当时老百姓的悲苦。书很薄,可以看一下。
