Reviews
This well-written and well-researched book shows that opium consumption as depicted in nineteenth-century English literature mirrors changing attitudes toward the Orient, the 'other' that both attracts and repels."
-Choice
"Milligan has a wonderful time smoking up social values, power, sexuality, and historiography in his analysis of opium trading, taking, and talking."
