Description

Rethinking world history has become a major concern of a significant number of historians over recent decades. In T'ang China S.A.M. Adshead engages with current debates by looking at the forces which have shaped China throughout its history. By offering a survey of T'ang China (618 970 AD), the book asks the questions: How did China come to occupy a central place in the world economy in pre modern times what forces helped shape China during this period, known by the Chinese as their 'golden age' how will these forces alter China's place in the world as we move into the Twenty First century? More broadly, the book explores the ways in which regional changes have, throughout history, shifted the balance of the world, politically, culturally and economically.
