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.
This unique study argues that in the Qin-Han period, there arose in China a regime of textual authority-one that overlapped but did not coincide with imperial authority. Drawing on a wide range of research and theory, Connery makes an original contribution to the analysis of early imperial elite culture, particularly in the fields of literature and linguistics, intellectual, and institutional history.
