Title ProperMaking of Chinese Central Asia
LanguageENG
AuthorWaugh, Daniel C
Publication2007.
Summary / Abstract (Note)The article demonstrates how Clarmont P. Skrine, who served in 1922-1924 as British Consul-General in Kashgar (Xinjiang), constructed the descriptive narrative in his well-known 1926 book, Chinese Central Asia. The extensive archive of Skrine's letters and other writings makes it possible to compare the book with its sources and learn about authorial intent, self-censorship, and literary devices. It may be possible to apply the methodology of this example to other Western accounts about Central Asia in order better to establish their strengths and weaknesses as historical sources
