Today I'm working on a short bio of #JamesLegge, missionary, nineteenth-century #translator of the Chinese Classics, and first Professor of Chinese at Oxford. Part of my ongoing project 19th Century Chinese-English Translator Networks. #TranslationStudies #Translatology #ChineseStudies #China
Fun fact: he got the job at Oxford by donating his Chinese collection to the Bodleian library.
