xxx, 780 pages : 24 cm, \"In this study, Norman J. Girardot focuses on James Legge (1815-1897), one of the most important nineteenth-century figures in the cultural exchange between China and the West. A translator-transformer of Chinese texts, Legge was a pioneering cross-cultural pilgrim within missionary circles in China and within the academic world of Oxford University. By tracing Legge's career and his close association with Max Muller (1823-1900), Girardot elegantly brings a biographically embodied approach to the intellectual history of two important aspects of the emergent \"human sciences\" at the end of the nineteenth century: sinology and comparative religions.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (pages 751-757) and index
