The Readability of the Past in Early Chinese Historiography - Harvard East Asian Monographs
Wai-yee Li
What are the possibilities and limits of historical knowledge? This book explores these issues through a study of the Zuozhuan, a foundational text in the Chinese tradition, whose rhetorical and analytical self-consciousness reveals much about the contending ways of thought unfolding during the period of the text's formation.
