This fascinating and highly useful book examines the rise of the
British empire and the various debates among historians of
imperialism over the past two hundred years. It discusses why the
empire is so attractive to historians, why there is so much debate
and controversy surrounding the subject, and how different
generations of historians have read the various episodes in the
history of the empire often radically differently. Chapters look at
the enduring fascination with the empire among historians; early
twentieth century economic explanations for the dynamic expansion
of the empire in the Victorian period; the controversies
surrounding empire in the 1950s; post colonial theory and its
critics; religion, race, gender and class; and debates on
capitalism and the empire since the 1980. The final chapter
investigates how Britain's imperial history might be viewed in
years to come. An engaging and useful work of historiography, this
book will be essential reading for students of British imperialism
attempting to get to grips with the subject. -- .
