具体描述
In a brisk revisionist history, William Rowe challenges the standard narrative of Qing China as a decadent, inward-looking state that failed to keep pace with the modern West.
The Great Qing was the second major Chinese empire ruled by foreigners. Three strong Manchu emperors worked diligently to secure an alliance with the conquered Ming gentry, though many of their social edicts—especially the requirement that ethnic Han men wear queues—were fiercely resisted. As advocates of a “universal” empire, Qing rulers also achieved an enormous expansion of the Chinese realm over the course of three centuries, including the conquest and incorporation of Turkic and Tibetan peoples in the west, vast migration into the southwest, and the colonization of Taiwan.
Despite this geographic range and the accompanying social and economic complexity, the Qing ideal of “small government” worked well when outside threats were minimal. But the nineteenth-century Opium Wars forced China to become a player in a predatory international contest involving Western powers, while the devastating uprisings of the Taiping and Boxer rebellions signaled an urgent need for internal reform. Comprehensive state-mandated changes during the early twentieth century were not enough to hold back the nationalist tide of 1911, but they provided a new foundation for the Republican and Communist states that would follow.
This original, thought-provoking history of China’s last empire is a must-read for understanding the challenges facing China today.

读后感
断断续续看了很久，昨天刚读完。罗威廉的清史最大的特点就是精要二字。 “精”当然说是简要。清朝近三百年的历史，全部浓缩在三百页不到的篇幅，而且它是将清朝当作一个整体来解读，而没有按通常1840年为界进行划分，描述了清朝由盛转衰的连续性。 “要”则说的是罗威廉选取...
评分大清的历史被各种小说、宫廷剧毁的不像样，即时我们翻看国内主流的正规清史书籍，也多是帝王将相，名人功臣，尤其是晚清历史，随便找一个事件就可写成很多本书，如何通过一本书了解真正的清朝历史缩影，一直是一个难点。 忽略王侯将相，让历史回归社会 最近刚刚出版的《哈佛中...
评分第一本看过的西方汉学家撰述的中国史，感觉是典型的学院派专著。虽然有点不想承认，清朝确实作为一个帝国存在于东亚，并深刻影响了周边的国家。或许由于现代史学经常强调中国近代所遭受的耻辱的缘故。 中国朝庭与其接邻之政体间维持着正式的外交接触，但存在着彻底的不对等与霸...
评分最近几年，读书越发不求甚解了。花了几天功夫，这本书也只读了一半，越往后，读得越粗粗不堪。 作为一本通史下的朝代史，本书的写法确实有独到之处，与国内的政治史模式差异颇大。怎么看，都觉得是社会史融入了政治史，对清朝整个社会能有一个更加清晰的认识。然而其行文、其翻...

Fast-paced and highly readable, especially its introduction, although catered towards an American readership of course.
评分準備資格考時讀的。算是這個系列裡面編寫得比較有誠意的一本。談到了美國清史研究的三個轉向。

评分太喜欢用法语单词了，如果把尾注换成脚注就更好了。
