    VISIONING ETERNITY: AESTHETICS, POLITICS, AND HISTORY IN THE EARLY MODERN NOH THEATER by Thomas D. Looser
    978-1-933947-08-2 hardcover $78, 978-1-933947-38-9 paperback $39 (receive 15% publisher-direct discount at checkout)

    In one of the more remarkable public events of the Tokugawa world, the shogun responded to a deepening crisis in the 1840s by sponsoring a huge, "once-in-a-generation" noh performance—the largest performance ever held. This is the first Western language book on Edo period noh and its use by the shogun, an essential addition to the scholarship on Japanese theater and the cultural history of modern Japan.

    2008 TITLES RECENTLY PUBLISHED!

    CEAS Volume no. 136
    THE DYNAMICS OF CONFUCIANISM AND MODERNIZATION IN KOREAN HISTORY by Yi Tae-jin
    978-1-933947-36-5 paperback $38, 978-1-933947-06-8 hardcover $76 (receive 15% publisher-direct discount at checkout)

    This volume makes available for the first time in English a collection of the work of historian Yi Tae-Jin. Over the course of his career, he has done path-breaking research that covers virtually the entire Chosôn period (1392-1910) from the Koryô-Chosôn transition to the Kojong period and Korea's takeover by Japan in 1910. One of the focal points of his scholarship has been to reinterpret Neo-Confucianism as a dynamic force in Korean history.

    CEAS Volume no. 137
    NEGOTIATED POWER IN LATE IMPERIAL CHINA: THE ZONGLI YAMEN AND THE POLITICS OF REFORM by Jennifer Rudolph
    978-1-933947-07-5 paperback $29, 978-1-933947-37-2 hardcover $49 (receive 15% publisher-direct discount at checkout)

    This volume explores the nature and functioning of reform during China’s transitional nineteenth century. By analyzing bureaucratic modes of management that developed around the creation and evolution of the Zongli Yamen, the book demonstrates the vitality of the Chinese states and the institutional traditions of its Manchu rulers.


    SERIES OVERVIEW

    The Cornell East Asia Series (CEAS) is published and subsidized by the East Asia Program of Cornell University. CEAS produces scholarly monographs, translations of literature and major works of literary criticism or social analysis, specialized textbooks, and well-integrated volumes of articles on important subjects dealing with the cultures of China (both the PRC and Taiwan), Japan, Korea (both north and south) and Vietnam. The books are regularly reviewed in scholarly journals. We publish up to ten new titles per year, with over ninety volumes currently in print. Our goal is to publish high-quality works at reasonable prices and to keep works in print as long as there is moderate interest. The books are published in both paperback and hardcover editions. To assure high quality manuscripts are reviewed by both internal (usually Cornell faculty) and external examiners. Authors are invited to submit camera-ready copy that meets CEAS guidelines and no royalties are given.
    CEAS encourages the use of illustrations in our books and accompanying video, CDs, or other appropriate materials. We will consider proposals for electronic publication.

    Examination Copy
    We provide examination copies to instructors with an invoice that is payable within 30 days. At the end of that time, the instructor may choose to:
    1. Use the book for a class, have the book store place an order for at least 10 copies and notify us of this decision. At that point the invoice will be cancelled and the instructor may keep the book as a desk copy.
    2. Pay the invoice or return the book in perfect condition.
    Desk Copy
    The Cornell East Asia Series provides desk copies upon request with orders of 10 or more copies per title, provided the instructor has not previously received a copy of the requested book. We require confirmation from the bookstore carrying the volume prior to shipping the desk copy. This usually takes the form of a purchase order or notification from the bookstore that the order will be placed.

    As each new title is released, a quote will be sent to those on standing order. Standing order customers may then either return the quote with payment to the CEAS Distribution office, or simply disregard the quote if the title isn't wanted. To be placed on standing order for new titles, please send your request to CEASBOOKS at orderbook@cupserv.org.
