Abstract
ABSTRACT Written as a response to Katherine Bowie's essay (‘Eunuchs in Vietnam: What's Missing?’), this piece presents some introductory research on the role of eunuchs in the court culture and the everyday administration of imperial Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty (1802–1945). In addition to explaining the role of eunuchs in Vietnamese historiography, this essay critically evaluates claims about eunuchs in nineteenth-century Vietnam through Vietnamese sources, including secondary research and primary sources.
