Book Synopsis Social Power and Legal Culture by : Melissa Ann Macauley
Book excerpt: Asserting that litigation in late imperial China was a form of documentary warfare, this book offers a social analysis of the men who composed legal documents. Litigation masters emerge as central players in many of the most scandalous cases in 18th- and 19th-century China.
