Britain's imperial century, 1815-1914
Ronald Hyam · 1976
על הספר
This is 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.
המשפט הראשון: When you come to think of it, there was no such thing as Greater Britain, still less a British empire - India perhaps apart.
