Sir Edmund Backhouse was een Britse oosterse geleerde en taalkundige wiens werk de Westerse perceptie van de late Qing-dynastie aanzienlijk heeft gevormd. Postume onthullingen toonden echter aan dat sommige van zijn bronnen vervalst waren, waarbij de omvang en oorsprong van deze fabricaties onzeker bleven. Hoewel een biograaf hem bestempelde als een 'oplichter', suggereren latere onderzoeken dat zijn vaak geconfabuleerde verslagen ook plausibele herinneringen aan historische scènes en details kunnen bevatten, mogelijk gekleurd door persoonlijke vooroordelen.
