Lynn Struve studies the history of late imperial China, with a particular focus on the transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties in the seventeenth century. Recent work examines intellectual and cultural life during this period of political upheaval, including topics such as dreams and dream-recording among Ming-era thinkers, medical practice, and the experiences of scholars and émigrés. Much of the output takes the form of scholarly books and reviews of other historians' work in the field.
