The emergence of a vibrant imperial culture in British society from
the 1890s both fascinated and appalled contemporaries. It has also
consistently provoked controversy among historians. This book
offers a ground-breaking perspective on how imperial culture was
disseminated. It identifies the important synergies that grew
between a new civic culture and the wider imperial project. Beaven
shows that the ebb and flow of imperial enthusiasm was shaped
through a fusion of local patriotism and a broader imperial
identity. Imperial culture was neither generic nor unimportant but
was instead multi-layered and recast to capture the concerns of a
locality. The book draws on a rich seam of primary sources from
three representative English cities. These case studies are
considered against an extensive analysis of seminal and current
historiography. This renders the book invaluable to those
interested in the fields of imperialism, social and cultural
history, popular culture, historical geography and urban history.
