Canton Days offers the first comprehensive history of the British
community in China from the mid-1700s to the end of the Opium War
in 1842. John Carroll challenges common assumptions about the
British presence in China as he traces the lives and times of the
expatriates at the heart of this vital center of trade and
exchange. The author draws on a rich trove of archival sources to
bring Canton and its leading figures to life. Written in clear,
lively, and jargon-free prose, this book will appeal to academic
and general readers interested in British imperial history, early
modern Chinese history, imperialism and colonialism, and expatriate
and sojourning communities.
