Beskrivelse

Traces the efforts of 19th-century American interpreters to make sense of newly-arrived Buddhism in Western terms. The author shows that American understanding of Buddhism, even for its most enthusiastic proponents, was significantly shaped by the prevailing culture until the following century.
