Throughout Nanjing’s history, writers have claimed that its spectacular landscape of mountains and rivers imbued the city with “royal qi,” making it a place of great political significance. City of Virtues examines the ways a series of visionaries, drawing on past glories of the city, projected their ideologies onto Nanjing as they constructed buildings, performed rituals, and reworked the literary heritage of the city. More than an urban history of Nanjing from the late 18th century until 1911 — encompassing the Opium War, the Taiping occupation of the city, the rebuilding of the city by Zeng Guofan, and attempts to establish it as the capital of the Republic of China — this study shows how utopian visions of the cosmos shaped Nanjing’s path through the turbulent 19th century.

In the once thriving City of Virtues, the supreme leader of the Greater Good envisions a future in which the differences between male and female virtually disappear, and violence and decay are replaced by passionless, ever-youthful contentment. Prime Mover Armond Buckley has the support of key players in the City's hierarchy, including Leda Swann, the brilliant meta-logician charged with closing the gap between "neutralists" and "couplers." But the Prime Mover's secret plans are certain to arouse fierce resistance, and a confluence of unforeseen events threatens to stop his dream from becoming a reality. Is the division between men and women necessary for human happiness? How far and how fast can humankind evolve beyond it biological inheritance? Must we set limits on our ability to control the future? CITY OF VIRTUES takes the reader on a voyage of adventure, suspense, and philosophical speculation.

Written by Europe’s first professional woman writer, The Treasure of the City of Ladies offers advice and guidance to women of all ages and from all levels of medieval society, from royal courtiers to prostitutes. It paints an intricate picture of daily life in the courts and streets of fifteenth-century France and gives a fascinating glimpse into the practical considerations of running a household, dressing appropriately and maintaining a reputation in all circumstances. Christine de Pizan’s book provides a valuable counterbalance to male accounts of life in the middle ages and demonstrates, often with dry humour, how a woman’s position in society could be made less precarious by following the correct etiquette.

Christine de Pisan's writing is a valuable counterbalance to most of the rest of our evidence of medieval life which was written by men. She addresses all women, from those at the royal court to prostitutes, painting a vivid picture of their lives in fine detail-and often in a dryly amusing way. Her tone is moral, but also down to earth. A woman's position, as Christine herself knew, was hardly secure.
