This is a set of pioneering studies on Chinese encyclopaedias of
modern knowledge (1870-1930). At a transitional time when modern
knowledge was sought after yet few modern schools were available,
these works were crucial sources of information for an entire
generation. This volume investigates many of these encyclopaedias,
which were never reprinted and are hardly known even to
specialists, for the first time. The contributors to this
collection all specialize in the period in question and have worked
together for a number of years. The resulting studies show that
these encyclopaedias open a unique window onto the migration and
ordering systems of knowledge across cultural and linguistic
borders.
