The Collapse of Heaven investigates a long-neglected century in Chinese literature through the lens of the Taiping War (1851–1864). Huan Jin examines manifold literary and cultural transformations through pamphlets, diaries, poetry, fiction, and drama. The book offers an important comparative perspective on the global nineteenth century.
