简介
本书荣获2015年约瑟夫·列文森图书奖（Joseph Levenson Book Prize）。作者何予明是加州大学戴维斯分校东亚语言与文化系副教授。全书细致研究了晚明时期的各类书籍，不仅将其视为文本，更作为在特殊书市中为脱颖而出而被设计、生产和营销的物质对象与商品。书中考察了许多在十八世纪学者看来过于琐碎、低俗或草率而不值得严肃研究的大众市场商业印本，但恰恰是这些材料成为了解当时读者如何想象自己世界与位置的宝贵资源。通过研究这些作品，我们得以窥见这一时期读者对日渐复杂的近代早期全球舞台的取向，以及他们对传统中国文本、政治和道德权威观念的理解，同时也展现了读者对时尚、愉悦的私生活的理想追求。

China‘s sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw an unprecedented explosion in the production and circulation of woodblock-printed books. What can surviving traces of that era’s print culture reveal about the makers and consumers of these books? Home and the World addresses this question by carefully examining a wide range of late Ming books, considering them not merely as texts, but as material objects and economic commodities designed, produced, and marketed to stand out in the distinctive book marketplace of the time, and promising high enjoyment and usefulness to readers. Although many of the mass-market commercial imprints studied here might have struck scholars from the eighteenth century on as too trivial, lowbrow, or slipshod to merit serious study, they prove to be an invaluable resource, providing insight into their readers‘ orientations toward the increasingly complex global stage of early modernity and toward traditional Chinese conceptions of textual, political, and moral authority. On a more intimate scale, they tell us about readers’ ideals of a fashionable and pleasurable private life. Through studying these works, we come closer to recapturing the trend-conscious, sophisticated, and often subversive ways readers at this important moment in China’s history imagined their world and their place within it.
