This book examines the ways in which imperial agendas informed the
writing of history in nineteenth-century Britain and how historical
writing transformed imperial agendas. Using the published writings
and personal papers of Walter Scott, J. A. Froude, James Mill,
Rammohun Roy, T. B. Macaulay, E. A. Freeman, W. E. Gladstone, and
J. R. Seeley among others, Theodore Koditschek sheds new light on
the role of the historical imagination in the establishment and
legitimation of liberal imperialism. He shows how both imperialists
and the imperialized were drawn to reflect back on Empire's past as
a result of the need to construct a modern, multi-national British
imperial identity for a more economically expansive and enlightened
present. By tracing the imperial lives and historical works of
these pivotal figures, Theodore Koditschek illuminates the ways in
which discourse altered practice, and vice versa, as well as how
the history of Empire was continuously written and re-written.
