Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Britain, Vol. 1: A Comprehensive Description of the Geography, History, Commerce, Trade, Government, and Religion of the British Empire "Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers along the steep; Her march is o'er the mountain wave, Her home is on the deep." - "Ye Mariners of England." - Thomas Campbell. "A land of settled government, A land of just and old renown, Where freedom broadens slowly down, From precedent to precedent." - Lyric, "You ask me why, etc." - Lord Tennyson. "This royal throne of kings, this sceptr'd isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise; This fortress, built by Nature for herself, Against infection and the hand of war; This happy breed of men, this little world; This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands; This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England." - William Shakespeare.

Download or read book Imperial Britain written by Andrew S. Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study considers the impact of the empire upon modern British political culture. The economic and cultural legacy of empire have received a great deal of attention, but historians have neglected the effects of empire upon the domestic British political scene. Dr Thompson explores economic, demographic, intellectual and military influences and he shows how parliamentary and party opinion interacted with imperial ideas and interests in the country at large. This is a major new book which explores the ideology of key imperial campaigns, and their popular support. It makes a critical contribution to recent debates -- about the importance of empire to the nature and development of British national identities before and after the First World War.

Download or read book The Business of Empire written by H. V. Bowen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-22 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Empire assesses the domestic impact of British imperial expansion by analysing what happened in Britain following the East India Company's acquisition of a vast territorial empire in South Asia. Drawing on a mass of hitherto unused material contained in the company's administrative and financial records, the book offers a reconstruction of the inner workings of the company as it made the remarkable transition from business to empire during the late-eighteenth century. H. V. Bowen profiles the company's stockholders and directors and examines how those in London adapted their methods, working practices, and policies to changing circumstances in India. He also explores the company's multifarious interactions with the domestic economy and society, and sheds important new light on its substantial contributions to the development of Britain's imperial state, public finances, military strength, trade and industry. This book will appeal to all those interested in imperial, economic and business history.
Download or read book Social and Imperial Life of Great Britain Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Kenelm Digby Cotes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social and Imperial Life of Great Britain, Vol. 1 IT would seem probable, after a science had been studied for centuries, that one Of its humbler students would be able to compile a primer with comparative ease, and in most branches Of knowledge the work would be safe, not unpleasant, and far from laborious. The way would have been already prepared by many other books Of the same kind. In history, if history were only politics and biography with a slight admixture Of religion and war, compilation would be an agreeable task with the guidance and assistance Of recognised authorities, whose names in the footnotes would furnish a guarantee alike Of good faith, that is Of adherence to approved and stereotyped models, and Of accuracy, that is of agreement with those models. But, if a student is dissatisfied with outlines, and with the usual limitations if he is aware that there is a science Of economics and a history Of commerce; if he is not ignorant Of the existence Of strategy and tactics, Of military geography and the geography of the sea-roads if he knows anything Of the story of the church, Of literature, or Of art, or of law; he leaves the beaten track, and undertakes pioneer work which is certain to be long and arduous, and almost equally certain to be regarded as unnecessary and almost impertinent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The undisputed best introduction to the history of the world-wide pattern of British activity in the nineteenth century, embracing its expansive spirit as well as its formal territorial empire. The dynamics of this extraordinary enterprise are considered broadly: the high-political concerns of strategy and international geopolitics are analyzed, as well as the economic dimension, missionary activity, and racial attitudes, together with a wide range of cultural aspects, including sport and the pursuit of sexual opportunity. Nor is the personal contribution of some of the leading Victorian figures neglected.
Download or read book Empire written by Denis Judd and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Empire radically altered the modern world. At its height, it governed over a quarter of the human race and encompassed more that a fifth of the globe. As well as providing the British people with profits and a sense of international purpose, the Empire afforded them the opportunity to create new lives for themselves through emigration and settlement. For those it dominated and controlled, the Empire often represented arbitary power, gunboat diplomacy, the disruption of local customs and government by a distant administration. This study analyzes the British imperial experience from the American Revolution to the present day. It examines the ways in which Empire affected both rulers and ruled, and the roles of significant personalities - from Queen Victoria to Nelson Mandela, Cecil Rhodes to Mahatma Gandhi.
