This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Charles 'Chinese' Gordon is a legendary figure in British colonial history for his heroic death at the hands of the Mahdi's army after the fall of Khartoum in the Sudan. This book concerns an earlier phase in Gordon's career - the event that won him his nickname. The Taiping rebellion was a widespread revolt - partly social and partly religious in origin - by Chinese peasants. The uprising caused up to 30 million deaths before it was eventually quelled. This revealing book tells the story of the 'Ever-Victorious Army' (EVA) which played a major part in that victory. The EVA was an elite force of Chinese troops, officered by Europeans and initially commanded by the American Frederick Ward who trained them in modern methods of warfare. After Ward's death in battle against the rebels, Gordon was appointed commander of the EVA in 1863 and won both the respect of his men and a string of engagements as he repelled the Taiping threat to Shanghai. This book tells the story of this epic but little-known campaign in full, and will interest students of Chinese history and admirers of Gordon alike.

Download or read book Representations of China in British Children s Fiction 1851 1911 written by Shih-Wen Chen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her extensively researched exploration of China in British children’s literature, Shih-Wen Chen provides a sustained critique of the reductive dichotomies that have limited insight into the cultural and educative role these fictions played in disseminating ideas and knowledge about China. Chen considers a range of different genres and types of publication-travelogue storybooks, historical novels, adventure stories, and periodicals-to demonstrate the diversity of images of China in the Victorian and Edwardian imagination. Turning a critical eye on popular and prolific writers such as Anne Bowman, William Dalton, Edwin Harcourt Burrage, Bessie Marchant, G.A. Henty, and Charles Gilson, Chen shows how Sino-British relations were influential in the representation of China in children’s literature, challenges the notion that nineteenth-century children’s literature simply parroted the dominant ideologies of the age, and offers insights into how attitudes towards children’s relationship with knowledge changed over the course of the century. Her book provides a fresh context for understanding how China was constructed in the period from 1851 to 1911 and sheds light on British cultural history and the history and uses of children’s literature.
Download or read book Taiping Rebel written by Xiucheng Li and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Li Hsiu-ch'eng - the Loyal Prince - was the most important military leader on the rebel side during the last years of the Taiping Rebellion in China (1851-64). The Taiping Rebellion has been called the greatest popular revolt in modern history, and it came remarkably close to toppling the Ch'ing empire some fifty years before it was finally overthrown in 1911. Captured in June 1864 by government forces, Li Hsiu-ch'eng spent the final days before his inevitable execution writing a personal account of the Rebellion and his role in it. His Deposition is the fullest narrative by a participant and an invaluable historical document. The original manuscript of the Deposition was withheld by the government commander Tseng Kuo-fan and his descendants, and a shortened, bowdlerized version prepared for publication. Li himself was considered a great revolutionary hero in China until the Cultural Revolution when he was reassessed in a major public debate of considerable political significance.

Download or read book Revolutionary Armies in the Modern Era written by S.P. Mackenzie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This presents a major re-evaluation of the standard view of revolutionary armies, the range of attitudes towards the role of heroic individuals, the formation and leadership of armies, and the differences and similarities between such armies. Beginning with an exploration of the New Model Army of the 1640s, a force whose name itself seems to denote its revolutionary credentials, the author presents ten case studies from around the globe, including the American War of Independence, The French Revolution, The Zulu-Boer War, the Waffen SS and the Viet-Cong. Through a detailed analysis of source material, he examines the images connected with these armies, both historical and recent, and assesses these images in their socio-political and nationalist contexts.
