Product Description

Review

"This is a very clever and wonderfully researched and written book which illumines French as well as British imperial experience, artifacts and culture, and which looks at all the actors involved in a vivid and nuanced fashion. An original new voice" Linda Colley

‘This is an extraordinary debut. Maya Jasanoff is one of the most exciting historians to emerge in years. Her crackling prose and outstanding research have resulted in a ground-breaking book. Edge of Empire is a must-read.’ Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire

Richard Gott, Guardian

'riveting and original...gives an entirely fresh dimension to our understanding...Britain’s empire will never look the same again.’
