Updated to incorporate a substantial new epilogue considering
Brexit and its 'imperial' implications, the sixth edition of The
Lion's Share remains an essential introduction to British
imperialism from its Victorian heyday to the present. Well-known
for its vigorous and readable style, this book presents a broad
narrative of events and explores a number of general themes,
challenging more conventional and popular interpretations of
British imperialism, as well as the simplistic 'for' and 'against'
arguments put forward in today's 'history wars'. Bernard Porter
sees imperialism as a symptom not of Britain's strength in the
world, but of her decline, and he argues that the empire itself
both aggravated and obscured deep-seated malaise in the British
economy. This sixth edition includes a final epilogue that engages
with what Brexit means for British Imperial History, and whether it
represents an extension of or final conclusion to Britain's
Imperial Career. In so doing, the book offers readers a thorough
understanding of the history of British imperialism and its
heritage, extending right into the present day. Supported by maps,
images and an updated chronology, The Lion's Share is the perfect
resource for both students and those interested in British and
Imperial History from the Victorian era to the modern day.
