The Taoists of Peking, 1800 to 1949: A Social History of Urban Clerics, Vincent Goossaert's 2007 study from the Harvard University Asia Center, is a major scholarly social history of Daoist clergy in the imperial and early republican capital. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph built from extensive archival research. Its limit is that its scope is Peking's clergy across a defined period, not Daoism generally across China or across other eras.
