The organized study of history began in Britain when the Empire was
at its height. Belief in the destiny of imperial England profoundly
shaped the imagination of the first generation of professional
historians. But with the Empire ended, do these mental habits still
haunt historical explanation?
Drawing on postcolonial theory in a lively mix of historical and
theoretical chapters, The Expansion of England explores the history
of the British Empire and the practice of historical enquiry
itself. There are essays on Asia, Australasia, the West Indies,
South Africa and Britain. Examining the sexual, racial and ethnic
identities shaping the experiences of English men and women in the
nineteenth century, the authors argue that habits of thought forged
in the Empire still give meaning to English identities today.
