Ohio UP, 1999. Three men and three women: a plant collector, a merchant and his novelist wife, a military officer, and two famous women travelers went to China between the Opium War and the formal end of the opium trade, 1842-1907. Their range of perspectives, their acquaintance with one another and their similar scope of travel to Hong Kong, the treaty ports, and Sichuan lend intensity to their picture of China and the Western presence there and reveal a continuity in the response of the West and China to each other. The strange mix of opium and missionaries, the aura of fabled 'Cathay' and its valuable trade items, the attraction and repulsion of the exotic otherness the travelers experience, reflect the political, religious, and racial views of their era, and explain the allure of the Orient that, in part, characterized their age. New in shrink-wrap. 271 pp. . First Edition. Hardbound. New/new. 24 x 16 cm..
