Twelve years after Professor Keightley published The Ancestral Landscape , which was a fascinating, elegant summary of decades of investigations of the Bronze-Age Late Shang dynasty, he has now published another wonderful book on the same era, under the title Working for His Majesty . As the title suggests, and as he recounts in a highly personal preface looking back at the origins of this work, he returns in this book to the topic of his doctoral dissertation on Shang labor ( Public Work in Ancient China: A Study of Forced Labor in the Shang and Western Chou , Columbia University, 1969)
