Conquerors and Confucians: aspects of political change in late Yüan China

Political transitions in late Yuan China.

This book explores the transitions in rulership in late Yuan China beginning with a break with the empire founded by Genghis Khan and ending with the Yuan’s diminished power over China proper and finally the collapse of the dynasty. Critical to this theme is the important role of Confucians who made their impact increasingly felt at the court during this period.
