Lecture 3: Genius Loci: A Form of Political Romanticism during the Late Qing Period

 

About the Lecture

This lecture suggests that in the late Qing period, a new form of romanticism emerged, imbuing localities, places, and scenery with political meanings. This brought about a kind of non-negotiable strong political consciousness.
