| | The Victorian Translation of China: INTRODUCTION |
| | Bringing Legge out from behind the clouds of neglect and distortion shows that his pilgrim's passage from an early evangelical missionary career to the new, more secular, academic sciences of sinology and comparative religions participates in, and contributes to, some of the most significant religious and intellectual changes during the Victorian era. | | | Secondly, Legge developed approaches to Chinese religion and philosophy that initiated new authoritative standards for the translation, interpretation, and evaluation of these traditions. | | | These two Chinese traditions became what Legge's colleague and editor, Max Müller, classified as the "higher" traditions making up what were called the six Oriental "book religions" (i.e., Hinduism or Vedic-Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism or Parsiism, Confucianism, and Taoism). |

| | FT August/September 2003: Books in Review: The Victorian Translation of China: James Legge’s Oriental Pilgrimage |
| | I suspect Legge understood this, though he often expressed the relationship between Christianity and Chinese religions in clumsy Victorian terms of “superiority” and “inferiority,” rather than fulfillment, integration, or even truth and error. | | | Towards the end of his career, Legge sought the divine Logos in the writings of Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, and even Buddha. | | | But here, too, Legge echoed the insight of such early Christian thinkers as Clement, who said that “Truth is one,” though torn in pieces by the sects. |

| | Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2001027444 |
| | By tracing Legge's career and his close association with Max Muller (1823-1900), Girardot elegantly brings a biographically embodied approach to the intellectual history of two important aspects of the emergent "human sciences" at the end of the nineteenth century: sinology and comparative religions. | | | A translator-transformer of Chinese texts, Legge was a pioneering cross-cultural pilgrim within missionary circles in China and within the academic world of Oxford University. | | | Girardot weaves a captivating narrative that illuminates the era in which Legge lived as well as the surroundings in which he worked. |

| | Daoist Studies Review of THE VICTORIAN TRANSLATION OF CHINA: JAMES LEGGE'S ORIENTIAL PILGRIMAGE by Norman J. Girardot ... |
| | Girardot's study is much more than a critical biography; it also reveals the various ways in which Leggian constructions, rooted in and manifesting contemporaneous Victorian prejudices and missionary sensibilities, set many of the foundations and enduring interpretative tendencies in Sinology ("sinological Orientalism") and the comparative study of religion. | | | Girardot dedicates the lion's share of his study to the period of Legge's life relating to his association with Oxford University, Max Müller (1823-1900) and the Sacred Books of the East series (published in 50 volumes between 1879 and 1891), and Victorian tradition at the end of the nineteenth century. | | | James Legge (1815-1897) was a Scottish Congregationalist, representative of the London Missionary Society in Malacca and Hong Kong (1840-1873), and first professor of Chinese at Oxford University (1876-1897). |
