史景迁，世界著名汉学家。1936年生于英国，曾受教于温切斯特大学和剑桥大学。1965年获美国耶鲁大学博士学位，现为耶鲁大学教授。史氏以研究中国历史见长。他以独特的视角观察悠久的中国历史，并以不同一般的“讲故事”的模式向读者介绍了他的观察和研究结果，他的作品敏锐、深邃、独特而又“好看”，他在成为蜚声国际的汉学家的同时，也为成学术畅销书的写作高手。

史景遷史學研究起始之作，開啟西方漢學新面向。 細膩書寫康熙寵臣曹寅的家族興衰， 反映清朝政治、財經、社會等多元面向， 立體再現康熙盛世的浮世織錦。 * * * 曹寅作為康熙皇帝的家奴，以歸順旗人的漢人身分，遊走滿漢二元社會，署理攸關稅收的兩淮鹽政與御用供給的江寧織造，聲勢日隆，其一生仕途和家族起落與康熙密切相關。史景遷企圖透過曹寅來反映康熙的統治手腕與清初政經社會面貌，也重構曹雪芹筆下《紅樓夢》背後的曹家真實景況。 本書為史景遷師從明清史學家房兆楹所做的博士論文，擺脫以往西方學者著重在西方因素影響東方歷史的研究觀點，重新觀察明末清初中國社會的滿漢關係與社會變革。本論文榮獲珀特爾論文獎（the John Addison Porter Prize），不僅是史景遷一生學術著作的起點，也為中國近現代史學研究提供新面向。
