Jan Morris tells the epic story of the rise of the British Empire,
from the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 to her Diamond Jubilee
in 1897. In this celebrated masterwork she vividly evokes every
aspect of the 'great adventure', ranging from ships and botanical
gardens to hill stations and sugar plantations, as she traces the
impact of empire on places as diverse as Sierra Leone and Fiji,
Zululand and the Canadian prairies. The Pax Britannica Trilogy also
includes Pax Britannica: The Climax of an Empire and Farewell the
Trumpets: An Imperial Retreat. Together, these three works of
history trace the dramatic rise and fall of the British Empire,
from the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 to the death of
Winston Churchill in 1965. Jan Morris is also world-renowned for
her collection of travel writing and reportage, spanning over five
decades and including such titles as Venice, Coronation Everest,
Hong Kong, Spain, A Writer's World and most recently, Contact! 'How
many professional historians can write books that give so much
pleasure? This is a book planned by an architect, fitted together
by a craftsman, and polished by a cabinet-maker.' Sunday Times
