Between the end of the Seven Years war in 1763, and the abolition
of slavery within its Empire in 1833, Britain's maritime engagement
with the wider world was transformed. The period was characterized
by the contradictory and competing forces of revolution and
reaction, 'liberty' and imperialism, war and peace, enlightenment
and enslavement. The essays in this collection offer the
path-breaking research of leading scholars to explore the
significance and complexities of Britain's maritime world in this
key period through a series of thematic discussions, comparing
similar and contrasting movements and events. They were originally
delivered as lectures in a series jointly sponsored by the
Institute of Historical Research and by the Centre for Imperial and
Maritime Studies at the National Maritime Museum.
