About This Item
London.: The University of Chicago Press.. 1994.. Volume II only. Black and white illustrations, xxiii + 392pp, appendices, bibliography, index, sunned spine and light shelf wear, very good paperback copy. "Praised for its scope and depth, 'Asia in the Making of Europe' is the first comprehensive study of Asian influences on Western culture. For volumes I and II, the author has sifted through virtually every European reference to Asia published in the sixteenth-century; he surveys a vast array of writings describing Asian life and society, the images of Asia that emerge from those writings, and, in turn, the reflections of those images in European literature and art."
