This set focuses on the influential economic and political
commentators who saw weaknesses in the infrastructure of the
British Empire at the turn of the 20th century. Dubbed "Idealists
of Empire", they saw that the British Empire seemed to have no
governing principles, no structure and no guiding ideals. Sir John
Seeley's famous quote of 1883 sums up this view: "we seem to have
conquered and peopled half the world in a fit of absence of mind".
The mission of the idealists was to find an Imperial solution to
this problem. The idealists of Empire documented their findings as
they looked more systematically at the Empire's external challenges
and internal workings, in terms of politics, economics and
strategy. The texts published in this collection represent some
important contributions to the early 20th-century debate on the
fate of the Empire.
