State versus Gentry in Late Ming Dynasty China, 1572-1644 Hardback...
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
This book looks at the bitter factionalism that plagued the last days of Chinas Ming Dynasty (13681644) as an ideological struggle between those scholarofficials who believed that sovereignty resided in the imperial state and those who believed that it resided with the learned gentry. This dichotomy provides a clear elucidation of lateMing factional strife, which necessarily appears very chaotic and has been described very imperfectly in recent histories. It therefore contributes greatly to our understanding of the fall of the Ming, and sheds light on statecraft in other cultures where sovereignty is an issue.
