Exhibiting the empire considers how a whole range of cultural
products - from paintings, prints, photographs, panoramas and
'popular' texts to ephemera, newspapers and the press, theatre and
music, exhibitions, institutions and architecture - were used to
record, celebrate and question the development of the British
Empire. It represents a significant and original contribution to
our understanding of the relationship between culture and empire.
Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplinary
backgrounds, individual chapters bring fresh perspectives to the
interpretation of media, material culture and display, and their
interaction with history. Taken together, this collection suggests
that the history of empire needs to be, in part at least, a history
of display and of reception. This book will be essential reading
for scholars and students interested in British history, the
history of empire, art history and the history of museums and
collecting. -- .
