Trade Review
"Pfeifer’s painstaking analysis of the personalities and careers of her protagonists brings to life the power brokers, the holy men and the social climbers. . . . Backed up by a persuasive bibliography of published and unpublished sources, Empire of Salons presents a definitive picture of this age."---David Chaffetz, Asian Review of Books
"This book . . . offers a focused perspective on an institution that, until this time, has been well-known but has not seen a dedicated work that outlines and explains it to this standard."---Gemma Masson, World History Encyclopedia
"Highly recommended."---I. Blumi, Choice
