From 1830, if not before, the Empire began to permeate the domestic
culture of Empire nations in many ways. From consumables, to the
excitement of colonial wars, celebrations relating to events in the
history of Empire, and the construction of Empire Day in the early
Edwardian period, most citizens were encouraged to think of
themselves not only as citizens of a nation but of an Empire. Much
of the popular culture of the period presented Empire as a force
for 'civilisation' but it was often far from the truth and rather,
Empire was a repressive mechanism designed ultimately to benefit
white settlers and the metropolitan economy. This four volume
collection on Empire and Popular Culture contains a wide array of
primary sources, complimented by editorial narratives which help
the reader to understand the significance of the documents
contained therein. It is informed by the recent advocacy of a
'four-nation' approach to Empire containing documents which view
Empire from the perspective of England, Scotland Ireland and Wales
and will also contain material produced for Empire audiences, as
well as indigenous perspectives. The sources reveal both the
celebratory and the notorious sides of Empire. In this, the third
volume of Empire and Popular Culture, documents are presented that
shed light on three principal themes: The shaping of personal.
collective and national identities of British citizens by the
Empire; the commemoration of individuals and collective groups who
were noted for their roles in Empire building; and finally, the way
in which the Empire entered popular culture by means of trade with
the Empire and the goods that were imported.
