New Title (The World of Wu Zhao: Annotated Selections from Zhang Zhou's Court and Country) of interest to your membership base
by T'ang Studies Society 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Dear Members and Friends of the T'ang Studies Society, We are pleased to share our recently published title " The World of Wu Zhao ", by [ https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fe11f680f5d6660e5a8b37ee… | N. Harry Rothschild ] . If you would like to know more about the book, please click [ https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fe11f680f5d6660e5a8b37ee… | here ] to see the advanced information sheet or visit the book’s webpage [ https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fe11f680f5d6660e5a8b37ee… | here ] . We look forward to hearing from you. Regards Mabel Marketing Team Anthem Press [ mailto:marketing@anthempress.com | marketing(a)anthempress.com ] | [ https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fe11f680f5d6660e5a8b37ee… | www.anthempress.com ] BOOK INFORMATION Book Summary This annotated translation of Zhang Zhuo’s collection of miscellany, Court and Country, offers a lively, folksy, and novel perspective on the empire of Wu Zhao, China’s first and only female emperor, that will amuse and shock readers, prompting them to recalibrate everything they think they know about medieval China. The World of Wu Zhao includes separate chapters on a number different themes and topics: Buddhist and Daoist monks, the female emperor’s male favorites (who dressed up in rainbow feathered garments and pranced around her court astride wooden red-capped cranes), cruel officials (bloodthirsty henchmen who took an aesthetic delight in their vocation), as well as sections on flora and fauna, the common folk, artisans and craftsmen, the military, spirits and the supernatural, the borderlands, and local officials. About the Author N. Harry Rothschild, a professor of Chinese history at the University of North Florida, specialized in early Tang history and the study of women and gender in China and East Asia. Advance Praise “With this latest publication, N. Harry Rothschild cements his reputation as the foremost authority on Wu Zhao. His commentary, interspersed with translations of excerpts from Zhang Zhuo’s eighth-century Collected Records of Court and Country provides unparalleled insight into Wu Zhao’s court and Tang society, religion, and international relations. The book is meticulously produced with helpful reference matter, making it suitable for students and learners at all levels. This book is a parting gift from Harry, and we will miss him terribly” — Michelle C. Wang, Department of Art and Art History, Georgetown University. “With his usual panache, the late N. Harry Rothschild employs Zhang Zhuo’s eighth-century work to paint a vivid and all-encompassing picture of the times of China’s only female emperor, Wu Zetian. He helps us adroitly peer behind Confucian misogynism to envision Wu and her court in a balanced manner” — Keith N. Knapp, Professor of History, The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina “This rich collection of anecdotes, biographical sketches, and curiosities taken from the writings of a Tang dynasty courtier and scholar offers a multifaceted tour of China during the reign of its sole female emperor, Wu Zhao (624–705 CE), that is variously hilarious, racy, poignant, and beguiling”— Jeffrey L. Richey, Professor of Asian Studies, Berea College. About Anthem Press Anthem Press is a leading independent publisher of innovative academic research, educational material, and reference works in established and emerging fields.
