A New Imperial History: Culture, Identity and Modernity in Britain and the Empire, 1660-1840 Book

This collection introduces readers to an exciting new field: the new imperial history. While established histories of the British empire have focused on administration, politics and policy, this book examines the cultural impact of empire on British and colonial people's sense of self and on their social relations in the eighteenth century. Leading scholars in the field examine the ways in which theatre, sociability, artistic and literary production, history, slavery and identity were shaped by Britain's contacts with America, India, Africa and the South Pacific.Read More
