| Summary, etc. |
The Last Empress has been remembered as one of history's most monstrous women - a ruthless Manchu concubine who seduced and murdered her way to the throne in 1861 to rule China through perversion, corruption, and intrigue for half a century. Yet Sterling Seagrave's magnificent biography of the Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi is both a timely reassessment of the myth and an unsparing account of the imperialism from which it arose. Drawing on a vast array of sources, penetrating the secrecy of the Forbidden City and the sanctimony of Tzu Hsi's Victorian biographers (the most respected of whom turns out to have been a confidence man and amateur pornographer), Dragon Lady gives the most vivid and accurate portrait to date of the much-maligned last empress. It is also a riveting chronicle of China's terminal encounter with the West and an astute look at the conquerors' need to create a monster where they could not find one. - Back cover. |
