The Victorian Translation of China: James Legge's Oriental Pilgrimage,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this magisterial study, Norman J. Girardot focuses on James Legge (18151897), one of the most important nineteenthcentury figures in the cultural exchange between China and the West. A translatortransformer of Chinese texts, Legge was a pioneering crosscultural pilgrim within missionary circles in China and within the academic world of Oxford University. By tracing Legge's career and his close association with Max Mller (18231900), Girardot elegantly brings a biographically embodied approach to the intellectual history of two important aspects of the emergent 'human sciences' at the end of the nineteenth century: sinology and comparative religions.Girardot weaves a captivating narrative that illuminates the era in which Legge lived as well as the surroundings in which he worked. His encyclopedic knowledge of pertinent figures, documents, peculiar ideologies, and even the personal quirks of principal and minor players brings the world of imperial China and Victorian England very much to life. At the same time, Girardot gets at the roots of much of the twentiethcentury discourse about the strange religious or nonreligious otherness of China.
