The impact of classical Rome on ancient Britain, as perceived by
the late Victorian and Edwardian elites, was a resource of immense
contemporary political value. The images it produced helped to
define the idea and practice of British imperialism, and the very
concept of "Englishness". Academics colluded in this process and
this created a legacy in Roman archaeology which persists to the
present day. Richard Hingley's work explores this relationship. His
thorough examination of late Victorian and Edwardian writings on
Rome and the ancient Britons illuminates the historical context and
development of Roman archaeology, and simultaneously makes a
contribution to the debates on English identity and imperialism.
This landmark study should be useful reading for scholars and
students in Roman archaeology, ancient history, colonial studies
and historiography.
