Description

This volume presents the first published transcriptions of private letters exchanged between Sir Harry Smith Parkes, the second British Minister of Japan (1828-1885), and Edmund Hammond, the permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Hammond wielded decisive influence over Britain's major policy decisions regarding Asia during this critical period. The correspondence spans Parkes' 18-year tenure in Japan, with this first volume focusing on the Bakumatsu era-the final years of the Shogunate-offering historians and scholars direct access to confidential diplomatic communications that shaped Anglo-Japanese relations. Chronologically arranged for easy reference, these letters provide unprecedented insight into the thinking of two key figures navigating Japan's transformation during one of Asia's most pivotal historical moments. Essential reading for anyone studying British foreign policy, Japanese history, or 19th-century international relations.
