[EAN: 9781108014113], Neubuch, [PU: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom, Cambridge], WILLIAM ARTHUR CORNABY CHINA UNDER THE SEARCH LIGHT CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION IN ASIA, A London-born Wesleyan Methodist missionary, William Arthur Cornaby (1860-1921) spent over thirty years in China, where he edited The Chinese Christian Review, and, from 1905, the Ta Tung Pao, a weekly magazine targeted at Chinese officials and scholars. His many books on Chinese culture and civilisation, including A String of Chinese Peach-Stones (1895) and Rambles in Central China (1896), provide detailed sketches of Chinese rural life and customs. The later China Under the Search-Light, first published in 1901, uses Western cliches about China as a point of departure to offer a more nuanced understanding of the underlying facts and problems specific to Chinese society. In this book, Cornaby discusses contemporary topics such as overcrowding in Shanghai, mandarins, and Buddhism. He also scrutinises newspapers, novels, and aesthetic traditions, offering an elementary introduction to Chinese culture as perceived by a nineteenth-century British missionary. This is a Brand New book, in perfect condition. Quick dispatch., Books<
