It begins by describing how early modern intellectuals used the utopian ideal of China to license all kinds of progressive innovation before chronicling how Englands growing commerce in southeast Asia radically changed Chinas representation in the English discourse community. For the new community of English merchants proposing to trade in Chinese goods, China became the seminal example in the growing discourse community of English Orientalism. It was an absolute or arbitrary authoritarian state, associated with crooked business dealings, and cloaked in a rhetoric of secrecy and exclusiona dangerous exception to the traditions, values, and identities of the emergent English speaking states. Finally, the book points out some of the ways that contemporary English language sources continue to represent this early modern English thought tradition, labelling the complexities of modern China with analytical vocabulary perhaps better suited to the pressing political anxieties of the seventeenth century. 001440790 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 15, 2021). 001440790 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign public opinion, English$$xHistory$$y17th century. 001440790 651_0 $$aEngland$$xRelations$$zChina. 001440790 651_0 $$aChina$$xRelations$$zEngland. 001440790 651_0 $$aEngland$$xCommerce$$zChina$$xHistory$$y17th century. 001440790 651_0 $$aChina$$xCommerce$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 001440790 651_6 $$aAngleterre$$xRelations$$zChine. 001440790 651_6 $$aAngleterre$$xCommerce$$zChine$$xHistoire$$y17e siècle. 001440790 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001440790 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440790 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030840327 001440790 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z303084031X$$z9783030840310$$w(OCoLC)1259585067 001440790 830_0 $$aEarly modern literature in history. 001440790 852__ $$bebk 001440790 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-84032-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440790 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440790$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440790 980__ $$aBIB 001440790 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440790 982__ $$aEbook 001440790 983__ $$aOnline 001440790 994__ $$a92$$bISE
