Beatrice S. Bartlett or Betsy Bartlett (born 1928) is an American historian of modern Chinese history, from the 1600s to the present. She is Professor Emeritus of History at Yale University.[1]

Biography

Bartlett received her B.A. from Smith College and Ph.D. (1980) from Yale University. She is best known for her work on Monarchs and Ministers: The Grand Council in Mid-Ch'ing China, 1723-1820 (1991), a significant expansion of her PhD dissertation,[2] which has been described as the "best contribution to Ch'ing institutional history in any language."[3] After teaching at Yale for a number of years, Bartlett retired in 2005 as a full professor, and became Professor Emerita of History.[4][5]

Bartlett comes from a long line of Yale alumni, including being related to the first Chinese to graduate from a North American university, the Yale alumnus Yung Wing.[4]
