The Chinese Impact upon English Renaissance Literature

Meer over het boek

Mingjun Lu introduces a liberal cosmopolitanism model to analyze early modern interactions with the 'other' by integrating globalization theory and depictions of China in English Renaissance literature. This approach critiques traditional colonial, nationalist, and Orientalist perspectives, offering a fresh lens to understand cross-cultural exchanges and the complexities of identity during that era. The book emphasizes the significance of these interactions in shaping contemporary views of globalization and cultural diversity.
