从17世纪50年代末开始，英国作家、商人和外交官对与中国的贸易紧张关系做出回应，想象跨文化形式的文明如何弥合两个帝国之间的政治分歧，允许东印度公司的贸易要求被批准，作为中国友谊的象征。这篇文章通过两种相关的文学体裁来探索这种世界性和理想化的英中关系视角的发展：一是关于在英国的中国旅行者的哲学(奥利弗·戈德史密斯、查尔斯·约翰斯通和霍勒斯·沃尔波尔)；二是关于广州和北京的旅行叙事(查尔斯-弗雷德里克·诺布尔和乔治·马卡特尼)。
From the late 1750s British writers, merchants and diplomats responded to trade tensions with China by imagining how cross‐cultural forms of civility might bridge the political divides between the two empires, allowing the trade demands of the East India Company to be granted as tokens of Chinese friendship. This article explores the development of this cosmopolitan and idealising perspective on Anglo‐Chinese relations in two related literary genres: philosophicalcontesimagining Chinese travellers in England (by Oliver Goldsmith, Charles Johnstone and Horace Walpole) and travel narratives of Canton and Beijing (by Charles‐Frederick Noble and George Macartney).
