About the author
Qin Hui is represented on this Chinese-language book site by nine titles. Public information about him is limited, and his biographical details remain incomplete, but the works available show a writer whose interests span history, social and cultural criticism, and politics and military affairs. Representative works such as Pastoral Poetry and Rhapsody: The Guanzhong Model and a Reappraisal of Premodern Society and Ten Discourses on Tradition examine the social structures of premodern China through local institutions and culture, while At the Threshold of Dynastic Change: Essays on the Ming-Qing Transition focuses on moments of dynastic upheaval. He has also published a co-authored boxed set with Jin Yan, written on Mandela and the new South Africa as a vantage point for observing China, and reflected on Chinese feminism in After Nora Leaves. His writing combines close textual and historical analysis with contemporary concerns, broad in scope and clear in expression, and has won a readership.
