Product Description

Review

"The British Empire: Themes and Perspectives is an impressive collection of twelve chapters by junior and senior scholars which presents overviews of various areas of scholarship on the British Empire . . . nevertheless, the vast scope of past and present historiography covered in The British Empire: Themes and Perspectives makes it an invaluable companion for students and scholars of the British Empire." (Canadian Journal of History, 1 October 2010)

"By putting the ′old′ political, economic, intellectual history in conversation with newer concerns about culture, gender, race, sexuality, identity–formation, and migration, this approach might be a very important way of reinvigorating the study of empire." (Victorian Studies, Autumn 2009)

"It will provide a most stimulating companion for students and researchers alike." (English Historical Review, June 2009)

"This book provides a wide–ranging, judicious, and insightful survey of some of the most important contemporary issues in British imperial and colonial historiography. Editor Stockwell (King′s College London) has assembled 12 excellent essays on a representative sample of themes. Stockwell has cut through the polemics that have sometimes characterized scholarly debate in imperial history, demonstrating that the field′s strengths are greater than the sum of its parts. Essential." (CHOICE, December 2008)

Review

"An ideal guide to the enormous breadth, complexity and nuances of a vital historical topic, both for those new to it and even for experts. A remarkably successful blending of history, historiography, analysis and controversy. Freshly written, and remarkably consistent for a multi–authored work."
–Bernard Porter, University of Newcastle
