The Limits of Change

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

“This collection of splendid essays…succeeds in establishing ‘conservatism’ as a valid, though still very general and undoctrinaire, position along the spectrum of contemporary Chinese opinions… In what it tells us of certain individuals, and of the succession of generations over a period of roughly half a century, this collection greatly enhances our sensitivity to the inner tensions of China. It is an important and distinguished book.”—Jermome B. Grieder
