The first comprehensive English-language biography of Emperor Huizong corrects the prevailing view of this ruler as a decadent political failure who lost the throne to invaders. Ebrey recasts the artistically gifted emperor as passionate and paradoxical, yet genuinely ambitious—if too much so—in pursuing glory for his flourishing realm.
