Under the influence of mounting foreign competition in the
late-Victorian and Edwardian periods, many Britons sought to
bolster England's world position by reinforcing the unity of the
Empire. For the most part their effort were channelled into an
attempt to construct a formal political union or federation of
Britain's overseas dominions. However, when the so-called Imperial
Federation Movement failed to produce a viable constitutional
solution the problem of unity a number of people began to search
for an alternative, non-political approach. In this connection a
campaign was mounted during the first two decades of the twentieth
century that came to emphasise the informal, spiritual ties which
supposedly bound the Empire together. This title, first published
in 1987, brings to light the assumptions, aspirations and schemes
of those predominantly middle-class figures who orchestrated the
Imperial Studies Movement at the turn of the twentieth-century.
This title will be of interest to students of history and
education.
