With unprecedented breadth, this volume integrates the history of
late imperial China with the history of education over three
centuries of Chinese social, political, and intellectual life. The
essays probe beneath the educational ideals enunciated by
Neo-Confucian philosophers to elucidate actual educational practice
in China from the late Ming dynasty to the late Ch'ing. Among the
questions addressed: How was education affected by gender and
kinship relations? What were the content and perceived function of
elementary education? How did civil service examinations represent
elite educational ideals? How did the doubling in size of the late
empire under Manchu rule influence the extension of education and
schooling in a multiethnic political culture? The authors also
examine the intellectual battles over the very meaning of "school"
in China before the twentieth century. A collaboration between
social and intellectual historians, this volume is the most
comprehensive work in English on education in China from the
seventeenth through the nineteenth century.
