This is a bibliography-in-progress of works published in Western languages on the period of Chinese history between the end of the Han dynasty and the Sui reunification (220-589 CE). The intent is to be as inclusive as possible, but it is likely that some works have been overlooked. Suggestions of additional titles to add can be sent to Ken Klein.
