Editorial Reviews

Review

The recent publication of Wilkinson's Chinese History: A New Manual ...was and remains a major event...[The] New Manual is in many ways an entirely new organism that is quite different from its predecessors. It incorporates a million new words of text and substantially new material ... The book is, in every way, absolutely indispensable to work in Chinese history." Carla Nappi in New Books in East Asian Studies (March 8, 2013).

Chinese History: A New Manual was awarded the 2014 Stanislas Julien Prize by the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres on June 13.

From the Author

The New Manual was published in January 2013. A 2nd revised printing was published in April 2013 and a 3rd revised printing in October 2013.
       In the second revised printing several sections were revised or rewritten (notably section 1.4, Chinese as a Global Language); over 50 new works were added; and 400 typos were corrected.
       In the third revised printing several dozen sections were rewritten and many typos and careless errors corrected. As part of this process, 128 recent studies, editions, and databases were integrated into the original pagination and some 20 superseded works dis­carded.
