Following his election to Parliament and extensive travels through
Asia, George Nathaniel Curzon (1859-1925) published in 1894 this
consideration of the present state of Japan, Korea and China within
a changing international landscape. Later viceroy of India, Curzon
was fascinated by the rich cultural heritage of the Far East, yet
he remained a staunch supporter of British imperialism. He explains
that the book's purpose is to delve deeper into political, social
and economic conditions, rather than present a travel narrative of
'temples, tea-houses and bric-a-brac'. After devoting a substantial
section to each country, Curzon closes with 'The Prospect',
exploring what he envisages for the future of the whole region. The
favourable reception of this title and his 1892 work, Persia and
the Persian Question (also reissued in the Cambridge Library
Collection), highlighted Curzon's diligently acquired knowledge of
Asian affairs and how they affected Britain's imperial interests.
