Synopsis

This book is a collection of poetry authored by a British expatriate living in China at the end of the 19th century. The poems are humorous observations of the writer's day-to-day life in a foreign land, addressing his experiences, thoughts, and feelings while living in treaty port towns in China. The writer's unique viewpoint provides a captivating insight into the highs and lows of working and living in treaty port towns from the perspective of a foreigner during the late Qing dynasty. While the poems are humorous in nature, they also reveal a longing for home, the challenges of living in a foreign country, and the writer's experience of culture shock. Through the poems, the reader glimpses not only a particular moment in the life of the writer, but also a particular moment in China's history as the country underwent dramatic societal and political changes towards the end of the century.
