Endymion Wilkinsons bestselling Chinese History: A New Manual has been in continuous print for fifty years, achieving an extraordinary distinction by expanding its scope with each new edition. Initially a modest research guide to Chinese imperial history, it has grown into an encyclopedic 1.7-million-word introduction to Chinese civilization, encompassing the primary and secondary resources and research problems for all periods of Chinese history. Recognizing its unique value, the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres (France) awarded the third edition the Stanislas Julien Prize, and in 2016, Peking University Press published the entire Manual in a three-volume Chinese edition.
The sixth edition of the Manual has undergone a comprehensive revision and expansion to incorporate the latest developments in digital tools and the two dozen ancillary disciplines essential for work on Chinese history. In addition, its temporal coverage has been extended to the death of Chairman Mao. To commemorate a half-century of continuous publication, the enlarged sixth edition consists of two volumes. Volume 1 explores topics ranging from Language, Education, and the Arts to Science, Technology, and the Environment. Volume 2 presents primary and secondary sources chronologically by period, from the Neolithic to 1976.
This comprehensive and timely publication is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Chinese history, culture, and society. Its extensive coverage, revised and expanded content, and user-friendly format make it an essential tool for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this fascinating and complex civilization.
