Opening:
Hi, everybody. I am Beryl. Welcome to watching HBO, History Box Office. Today I am so happy to interview Jonathan D. Spencer. Jonathan D. Spencer is a wonderful storyteller, and now I have found the history is also a charming branch of learning.
Definition:
Jonathan D. Spence ( born August 11, 1936) is a British-born historian and public intellectual specializing in Chinese history. He has been Sterling Professor of History at Yale University since 1993. His most famous book is The Search for Modern China, which has become one of the standard texts on the last several hundred years of Chinese history. A prolific author, reviewer, and essayist, he has written a dozen books on China. His research takes him to many Chinese universities.
Spence's major interest is modern China, and especially its relations with the West. A notable recurring theme in Spence's work is the use of biographies to examine the wider cultural history of China. Another common theme to Spence's work is his interests in efforts on the part of both Westerners and Chinese to Westernize China, and why such efforts have failed.
