Abstract
"By analyzing the social and cultural interplay between state power and local elites of Suzhou, a city renowned for its economic prosperity and local pride, from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, this illuminates the significance of this period in the reformulation of state-elite relations marked by elite public activism and the dissolution of centralized cultural order"--Provided by publisher.
