In a brisk revisionist history, William Rowe challenges the standard narrative of Qing China as a decadent, inward-looking state that failed to keep pace with the modern West.
The Great Qing was the second major Chinese empire ruled by foreigners. Three strong Manchu emperors worked diligently to secure an alliance with the conquered Ming gentry, though many of their social edicts—especially the requirement that ethnic Han men wear queues—were fiercely resisted. As advocates of a “universal” empire, Qing rulers also achieved an enormous expansion of the Chinese realm over the course of three centuries, including the conquest and incorporation of Turkic and Tibetan peoples in the west, vast migration into the southwest, and the colonization of Taiwan.
Despite this geographic range and the accompanying social and economic complexity, the Qing ideal of “small government” worked well when outside threats were minimal. But the nineteenth-century Opium Wars forced China to become a player in a predatory international contest involving Western powers, while the devastating uprisings of the Taiping and Boxer rebellions signaled an urgent need for internal reform. Comprehensive state-mandated changes during the early twentieth century were not enough to hold back the nationalist tide of 1911, but they provided a new foundation for the Republican and Communist states that would follow.
This original, thought-provoking history of China’s last empire is a must-read for understanding the challenges facing China today.

读后感
清朝是距离现代中国最近的一个帝制王朝，也是我们对于中国历史了解最多的一个朝代，清史因其与近现代中国史的承继性而得到越来越多人的关注与研究。而对于这段历史的研究也对于现代中国发展的思路不无裨益。 在《最后的中华帝国：大清》中，作者罗威廉依然选取了政治制...
评分理解不深，暂将纷乱的思绪记录在这里。 因先读过钱穆《国史大纲》《中国历代政治得失》，再读《哈佛中国史06:最后的中华帝国》一书，所以难免有将两书进行比较的思想。 钱穆对清朝统治的评价观点鲜明：清朝和元朝及历史上的少数民族政权一样，是狭义的部族政权对汉族的统治，其...
评分整体上是一本海外汉学家关于清朝的综述，对于熟稔清史的人来说可能没有新意，但是对我收获很多。 写作视角上弱化政治军事，侧重从社会生活入手。其中还不乏和现在传统史观相比“颠覆”的观点，从经济，官僚选任角度分析清朝治理偏向“小政府”，中央在治理地方的时候下放一部分...
评分本套系列始于秦朝公元前221年，止于清朝公元1912年，横跨2133年，治乱更替，分分合合，各色枭雄如流星般璀璨登场，闪耀一时一方，遮饰累累白骨万千，留下迷离的专属印记，更多则溶于悠远绵长的中华血脉。 历史事件有很多藏于永不可解的迷雾，历史观因人因事也在世代轮转，不变...
评分史学研究发展到今天，已经日益碎片化了。断代与断代、领域与领域之间，沟壑纵横。上世纪夏曾佑、钱穆、吕思勉等学者，还能在通读乙部要籍后，以一己之力纂写通史。如今即便是写比较全面的断代史，难度也越来越大。在新材料和新观念不断涌现、研究著作汗牛充栋的情况下，研究者...

评分好的复习书
评分新清史handbook
评分清史入门第一本！非常好的总结。这就是利用史学家的研究，写出自己关于清史的narrative的模板。如果用来做lecture也非常适合，既有历史发展脉络，又融合了各派见解，并整合为一个叙事整体。
评分把二十年來美國清史研究做了絕佳的整理
