The Empire of the Text: Writing and Authority in Early Imperial China
Christopher Leigh Connery
During the Chinese Qin-Han period, there arose a regime of textual authority - overlapping but not coinciding with imperial authority. Drawing on research, this work analyzes the early elite culture, particularly in literature and in linguistic, intellectual and institutional history.
