The Far East Revisited by A. Gordon Angier is a travel and observational work surveying political, commercial, and social conditions across East and Southeast Asia in the early twentieth century. Structured as a collection of essays rather than traditional chapters, the book examines regions and themes in separate sections.
The contents cover Malaya, including Singapore and the Straits Settlements, China, with focus on treaty ports and urban centers, Korea, and Japan, emphasizing governance, trade, and society. Angier combines firsthand observations with historical and political context, discussing modernization, foreign influence, commerce, and cultural practices.
Written for British readers interested in travel, trade, and imperial affairs, the volume blends descriptive narrative with analytical commentary. Its essay-based structure allows readers to explore each region individually while providing a cohesive survey of the Far East during a period of significant political, social, and economic transition.
