Brian R. Dott. Identity Reflections: Pilgrimages to Mount Tai in Late Imperial China. (Harvard East Asian Monographs, number 244.) Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Asia Center. 2004. Pp. xiv, 358. $50.00.

The subject of Brian R. Dott's book is pilgrimage to China's most sacred mountain, Taishan (Mount Tai), a natural wonder that has been the focus of imperial legitimation, Daoist ceremony, popular pilgrimage, and literati belles-lettres since the late b.c.e. periods. The author poses questions of religion, history, anthropology, sociology, ethnography, cultural studies, and, of course, sinology. His creative juxtaposition of so many discourses offers new insight for all of them, but particularly for research on the period Chinese historians name "late imperial" (primarily the Qing dynasty, 1644–1911).
