by James L. Hevia
First line
THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK was inspired by a gruesome scene of public executions that took place in Beijing, China, in the autumn of 1900 (fig. 1).
From the rear cover
"James L. Hevia takes the notion of imperial discipline and pedagogy beyond metaphor to precise illustration and explanation. With the help of a wonderfully selected set of prints and the mastery of an unusual set of archives, " English Lessons" manages to make of the familiar story of British imperialism in China something new and startling."--Marilyn B. Young, Professor of History, New York University
