"If modernity can be considered in terms of intensified
transcultural exchanges, the volume helps to reset its origins for
China and the West to at least one hundred years before the
accustomed chronology. . . . Overcoming the traditional bias
towards the "fine arts" in art-historical writing, volume moves
easily between painting, print, architecture, textiles, interior
decoration and technical instruments."
--Burlington Magazine "Beautifully illustrated. . . . [This volume]
offers a serious treatment of . . . a complex problem through the
diversity of the methodologies and perspectives adopted by its
contributors."--New Perspectives on the Eighteenth Century
