The Empress Wu

A compelling historical biography of Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 AD), the only female emperor of China, by renowned sinologist C.P. Fitzgerald. This volume explores her tumultuous life, political cunning, and lasting impact on the Tang Dynasty and Chinese history. Published in 1955, this is a later printing of the work. The author, C.P. Fitzgerald, was a highly respected historian of East Asia, and his work remains a significant contribution to the study of the Tang Dynasty. Bound in a sturdy hardcover, the book is in good condition. The covers show some minor shelf wear commensurate with age, and the binding remains firm. The interior text block is clean and free from significant markings or annotations. No dust jacket is present.
