Nation and the Writing of History in China and Britain explores,
through a comparative approach, the reception of the nationalist
worldview and its effects on the practice of history in China and
Britain. This book proposes that nationalism, rather than a
political doctrine, is a way of making sense of the world which
results from the combination of a set of definite assumptions. The
work analyzes how each one of these premises was accepted and
negotiated by literati, intellectuals, historians, and other
scholars in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The
results of this research showcase how the reception of the new
nationalist worldview crucially affected images of the past, the
present, and the future in both societies and decisively framed
cultural, social, and political debate. In addition, they likewise
evidence the fundamental role that historical narratives play in
the crystallization of national identities. This book is perfect
for readers interested in China and Britain during this time
period, but also to anyone attracted to new ways of conceiving
nationalism and its role in our world.
