Few historical subjects have generated such intense and sustained
interest in recent decades as Britain's imperial past. What
accounts for this preoccupation? Why has it gained such purchase on
the historical imagination? How has it endured even as its subject
slips further into the past? In seeking to answer these questions,
the proposed volume brings together some of the leading figures in
the field, historians of different generations, different
nationalities, different methodological and theoretical
perspectives and different ideological persuasions. Each addresses
the relationship between their personal development as historians
of empire and the larger forces and events that helped to shape
their careers. The result is a book that investigates the
connections between the past and the present, the private and the
public, the professional practices of historians and the political
environments within which they take shape. This intellectual
genealogy of the recent historiography of empire will be of great
value to anyone studying or researching in the field of imperial
history.
