Omtale

Published in 1899, this is the account of Mrs. J. F. Bishop's journey through central China (1896–1897). The Geographical Journal heralded the work as 'undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to English literature on that country'; it remains a key source for nineteenth-century British perceptions of China.
