"This collection stands out for its varied range of topics, multifaceted approaches, diversified perspectives and a thoughtful dialogical introduction that widens the purview of the medieval West. It is immensely exciting and rewarding to see the fruits of an international collaboration with uniquely important and substantial contributions by East Asian scholars to one of the major themes in medieval and early modern studies." (Yu-cheng Lee, Distinguished Research Fellow, Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica)
"Perceiving Power in Early Modern Europe is an eclectic collection of essays that together traces the evolution of absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy. The essays bring out an array of the axes and valences of power ... . Professor Francis K. H. So's informative and sure-footed introduction not only places the discrete essays in a provocativedialogical context but also present analogous Chinese notions of kingship such as the Mandate of Heaven and Wang Dao-notions that parallel the divine rights of kings / the Magna Carta and noblesse oblige respectively." (King-Kok Cheung, Professor of English, University of California, Los Angeles)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
