Sinopse

In this book, David Porter analyses the processes by which Chinese aesthetic ideas were assimilated within English culture. Illustrated with many examples of Chinese and Chinese-inspired objects and art, this is a major contribution to eighteenth-century cultural history and to the history of contact and exchange between China and the West.
