Beatrice S. Bartlett or Betsy Bartlett (born 1928) is an American historian of modern Chinese history, from the 1600s to the present.

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,[1] which has been described as the "best contribution to Ch'ing institutional history in any language."[2] After teaching at Yale for a number of years, Bartlett retired in 2005 as a full professor, and became Professor Emerita of History.[3][4]

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.[3]
