This wide-ranging and accessible book examines the effects of
British imperial involvements on history writing in Britain since
1750. It provides a chronological account of the development of
history writing in its social, political, and cultural contexts,
and an analysis of the structural links between those involvements
and the dominant concerns of that writing. The author looks at the
impact of imperial and global expansion on the treatment of
government, of social structures and changes and of national and
ethnic identity in scholarly and popular works, in school
histories, and in 'famous' history books. In a clear and
student-friendly way, the book argues that involvement in empire
played a transformative and central role within history writing as
whole, reframing its basic assumptions and language, and sustaining
a significant 'imperial' influence across generations of writers
and diverse types of historical text. -- .
