Genre Networks and Empire: Rhetoric in Early Imperial China
19.99 €
Genre Networks and Empire combines decolonial and transnational approaches to understanding the rhetorical history of early imperial China.
Through the concept of “genre networks,” Yu reveals the mechanisms of early Chinese imperial bureaucracy. By carefully studying the narratives preserved in the texts of government officials, the author shows their influence on the effectiveness of governance and the legitimization of the regime.
The book examines various rhetorical forms, from decrees and examination essays to instructions and poetic texts.
