Creating the Opium War examines British imperial attitudes towards
China during their early encounters from the Macartney embassy to
the outbreak of the Opium War - a deeply consequential event which
arguably reshaped relations between China and the West in the next
century. It makes the first attempt to bring together the political
history of Sino-western relations and the cultural studies of
British representations of China, as a new way of explaining the
origins of the conflict. The book focuses on a crucial period
(1792-1840), which scholars such as Kitson and Markley have
recently compared in importance to that of American and French
Revolutions. By examining a wealth of primary materials, some in
more detail than ever before, this study reveals how the idea of
war against China was created out of changing British perceptions
of the country. -- .
