The Englishman In China During The Victorian Era, Volume II, travels through the career of Sir Rutherford Alcock, charting a pivotal chapter in British foreign service with the nuance of a finely drawn travel memoir. This edition brings Alexander Michie's illustrated biography back into the light, weaving historical biography with vivid scenes of imperial entanglements in China and Japan. Readers meet a diplomat whose long years in Asia illuminate the pressures, reforms, and quiet heroism of Victorian Britain at the very edge of empire. It is both a richly textured portrait and a scholarly touchstone for lovers of library collections, Victorian Britain, and colonial era biography, offering a clear window into how diplomacy shaped China-Japan relations and global trade. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This book speaks to history enthusiasts and serious students while remaining accessible to casual readers who relish a well-told life story, illustrated history, and a carefully documented historical narrative. A foundational reference for those pursuing Rutherford Alcock studies and a vivid addition to any academic reference shelf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Michie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9354840833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354840838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Alexander Michie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175600861439,"sku":"9789354840838","price":27.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f5b7e67-503f-4060-abb2-49981d1f004a.jpg?v=1771334738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-englishman-in-china-during-alexander-michie-9789354840838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
