As British and Irish migrants sought new lives in the Caribbean,
Asia, North America and Australasia, they left a trail of physical
remains where settlement occurred. Between the 17th and 20th
centuries, gravestones and elaborate epitaphs documented identity
and attachment to their old and new worlds. This book expands upon
earlier examination of cultural imperialism to reveal how
individuals, kinship groups and occupational connections identified
with place and space over time. With analyses based on gravestones
and memorial markers in the UK and Ireland, Australasia, Asia,
Africa and the Americas, the contributors explore how this evidence
can inform 21st-century ideas about the attachments that British
and Irish migrants had to 'home' in both life and death. Nicholas
