具体描述

This book examines cities of the Jiangnan region of south-central China between the twelfth and nineteenth centuries, an area considered to be the model of a successfully developing regional economy. The six studies focus on the urban centers of Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and Shanghai.

Emphasizing the regional focus, the authors explore the interconnections and sequential relationships between these major cities and analyze common themes such as the development of handicraft industry, transport and commerce, class structure, ethnic diversity and internal immigration, and the social and political pressures generated by developments in manufacturing, taxes, and government politics. The book provides a valuable resource on commercial development and internal economic and social development in pre-modern China, particularly on specific regional development and the historical role of traditional Chinese cities.

读后感

中国城市的成因，学者给与了不同的解释。给予不同的政治原因，城市形成和发展也不一样。本书所记载的五个城市各有特色。用霍恩伯格的说法，欧洲中世纪属于网格城市。其实帝国晚期的中国江南城市也属于网格城市的发展脉络。从本书来看，五所城市的成因各有不同，虽然苏州和杭州...  

《帝国晚期的江南城市》，美国人林达·约翰逊主编，成一农译，上海人民出版社2005年6月出版。 本书汇集了美国、澳大利亚、意大利、日本等多国学者对中国城市历史地理的若干最新研究成果。主要研究案例为江南地区的苏州、杭州、扬州和上海四座城市。扬州虽地处江北，...  

这本书是和其英文版对照着读的。译者显然下过功夫，在footnote里考证引文出处这一点就很难得。可惜译者对某些中国研究专家的英文名不熟，比如Ray Huang，Phillip Huang，至于把John K. Fairbank[费正清]翻译成约翰•费尔班克斯就有些过分。不过总体而言还是不错，至少没有出...
