Book The Politics of Empire at the Accession of George III

Download or read book The Politics of Empire at the Accession of George III written by James M. Vaughn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important revisionist history that casts eighteenth-century British politics and imperial expansion in a new light In this bold debut work, historian James M. Vaughn challenges the scholarly consensus that British India and the Second Empire were founded in "a fit of absence of mind." He instead argues that the origins of the Raj and the largest empire of the modern world were rooted in political conflicts and movements in Britain. It was British conservatives who shaped the Second Empire into one of conquest and dominion, emphasizing the extraction of resources and the subjugation of colonial populations. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Vaughn shows how the East India Company was transformed from a corporation into an imperial power in the service of British political forces opposed to the rising radicalism of the period. The Company's dominion in Bengal, where it raised territorial revenue and maintained a large army, was an autocratic bulwark of Britain's established order. A major work of political and imperial history, this volume offers an important new understanding of the era and its global ramifications.

Book The Ideological Origins of the British Empire

Download or read book The Ideological Origins of the British Empire written by David Armitage and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ideological Origins of the British Empire presents a comprehensive history of British conceptions of empire for more than half a century. David Armitage traces the emergence of British imperial identity from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries, using a full range of manuscript and printed sources. By linking the histories of England, Scotland and Ireland with the history of the British Empire, he demonstrates the importance of ideology as an essential linking between the processes of state-formation and empire-building. This book sheds light on major British political thinkers, from Sir Thomas Smith to David Hume, by providing fascinating accounts of the 'British problem' in the early modern period, of the relationship between Protestantism and empire, of theories of property, liberty and political economy in imperial perspective, and of the imperial contribution to the emergence of British 'identities' in the Atlantic world.

Download or read book Small Island Big History written by Christopher Berg and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Britain may be small geographically but its proverbial reach touched every corner of the globe by the end of the nineteenth century. Exploration had been the impetus behind the Age of Discovery and the news of far-away lands intrigued governments and captivated the masses. Britain knew that the future lay in across these vast expanses of open ocean and made every effort to become a key player in the changing international landscape. This is a crucial point to remember because Britain did not become "Great" until she had invested the heart and soul of her people, time and again, into an idea that may easily have bankrupted the country or, worse, led to its conquest by weakening it to such a pitiful state. But the British people possessed an entrepreneurial spirit that could not be quenched and continually persevered no matter what situation or challenge they faced. This same spirit was the backdrop that fueled the Industrial Revolution. British attitudes and identity are directly correlated to Britain's empire-building and help to explain why "Britain" and the "Empire" were indivisible to the British people. This study is a collection of interpretive essays that investigate major aspects of Great Britain and her Empire from the seventeenth century until the years following the close of World War II. The objective of these essays is to explore events and issues that have shaped the course of British history. In essence, it will trace the evolutionary development of Great Britain's Empire from its earliest stages until it began to fragment and dismantle after the Second World War. Special attention is given to broad themes that affected multiple areas of the Empire and include "informal" empire, British naval superiority, race relations, and the "End of Empire." Great Britain and the British Empire has once again become a popular topic among historians. Investigating the various components of Great Britain and the Empire, the justifications of Empire, the motivations behind Empire, and how decisions and events contributed either in strengthening Empire or in severely weakening it is crucial in understanding the Empire's legacy. Studying the British Empire is still an important endeavor as evidenced by the resurgence in scholarly publications dealing with the Empire. These studies feature contributions made by scholars from neighboring disciplines ranging from Political Science to Geography to International Studies. Some of the essays contained here are written by scholars in these areas. Historians can greatly benefit from their intensive research, analysis, and conclusions. They allow an additional lens to analyze Great Britain and the British Empire. The torrent of scholarly investigation from scholars from diverse backgrounds is testament to the allure of Empire studies and endless possibilities of research that has yet to be done.

Book Londinopolis  C 1500   C 1750

Download or read book Londinopolis C 1500 C 1750 written by Mark S.R. Jenner and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Events such as the Fire of London and the Plague, and historic locations like the Globe Theatre, are part of London's heritage. Yet until recently, the history of the city between 1500 and 1750 has been little studied. During this period, London's population soared from around 50,000 to nearly half a million--the demographic explosion transformed the city to a metropolis. London became a center of new social and sexual identities and a solvent of older, more hierarchical forms of social organization. The essays in this volume cover the themes of polis and the police, gender and sexuality, space and place, and material culture and consumption. Within these themes are thieves, prostitutes, litigious wives, the poor, disease, “great quantities of gooseberry pye,” and the taxing question of fresh water.
