About This Item
New York: Cambridge University Press, 1996. SIGNED. Hardbound. VG+, signed by author and inscribed to owner, label inside cover, otherwise in fine condition.. Navy cloth on boards with gilt lettering on spine, teal/bw/tan pictorial DJ, [xxvi] 468 pp, 44 bw photos. From the Dust Jacket: In this richly illustrated and meticulously crafted narrative, Conn recounts Buck's life in absorbing detail, tracing the parallel course of American and Chinese history and politics through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This "cultural biography" thus offers a dual portrait: of Buck, a figure greater than history cares to remember, and of the era she helped to shaped.
