Published in 1910, 'China Under the Empress Dowager' by J. O. P. Bland provides a detailed historical account of Tzŭ Hsi, the Empress Dowager of China, who ruled from 1861 to 1908. The book chronicles her rise to power and the political machinations within the Manchu court during a period of decline for the Qing dynasty. Through a blend of biography and political history, it reveals the complexities of her influence over imperial policy, the dynamics of the Forbidden City, and the turbulent environment of 19th-century China, drawing on Chinese source materials that may include fabrications. This work is notable for its insights into the life of one of China's most powerful women and the intricacies of court life.
