After 50 years, sufficient time has now elapsed for a more
objective appraisal of the impact of the British Empire, both on
the British and on those they ruled. This history cannot be
depicted as 400 years of purposeful and uninterrupted progress and
it is important to consider the experience of the peoples the
British regarded as 'subjects': West African negroes, Indians and
Native Americans. These and other concerns are acknowledged in this
'revisionist' history of the Empire. Most of the chapters are
interpretative; they take a certain amount of basic knowledge of
the British Empire for granted and are most likely, therefore, to
appeal to the well informed. (Kirkus UK)
Volume II of the Oxford History of the British Empire examines the history of British worldwide expansion from the Glorious Revolution of 1689 to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, a crucial phase in the creation of the modern British Empire. This is the age of General Wolfe, Clive of India, and Captain Cook. The international team of experts deploy the latest scholarly research to trace and analyse development and expansion over more than a century. They show how trade, warfare, and migration created an Empire, at first overwhelmingly in the Americas but later increasingly in Asia. Although the Empire was ruptured by the American Revolution, it survived and grew into the British Empire that was to dominate the world during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
