Book event: Dr Christopher Harding - The Light of Asia From the time of the ancient Greeks onwards the West's relationship with Asia consisted for the most part of outrageous tales of strange beasts and monsters, of silk and spices shipped over vast distances and an uneasy sense of unknowable empires fantastically far away. By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back. Dr Christopher Harding - Senior Lecturer, Asian History - explores this uneasy relationship in his latest work, 'The Light of Asia: A History of Western Fascination with the East'.
