Mourning in Late Imperial China: Filial Piety and the State - Cambridge Studies in Chinese History, Literature and Institutions
Kutcher, Norman (Syracuse University, New York)
Norman Kutcher's study of mourning looks beneath the rhetoric to demonstrate how Qing China's Manchu leaders - unwilling to make the sacrifices that a genuine commitment to proper mourning demanded - quietly but forcefully undermined, not reinvigorated, the Confucian mourning system.
