This volume uses a series of portraits of 'imperial lives' in order
to rethink the history of the British Empire in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. It tells the stories of men and women
who dwelt for extended periods in one colonial space before moving
on to dwell in others, developing 'imperial careers'. These men and
women consist of four colonial governors, two governors' wives, two
missionaries, a nurse/entrepreneur, a poet/civil servant and a
mercenary. Leading scholars of colonialism guide the reader through
the ways that these individuals made the British Empire, and the
ways that the empire made them. Their life histories constituted
meaningful connections across the empire that facilitated the
continual reformulation of imperial discourses, practices and
cultures. Together, their stories help us to re-imagine the
geographies of the British Empire and to destabilize the categories
of metropole and colony.
