Description

Making the British Empire, 1660–1800 offers a timely reappraisal of the origins and nature of the first British empire, in response to the 'cultural turn' in historical scholarship and the 'new imperial history'.

This collection addresses topics that have been neglected in recent literature, providing a series of political and institutional perspectives. At the same time, it recognises the importance of developments across the empire, particularly in terms of how they affected imperial policy and its implementation.

The book analyses a range of contemporary debates and ideas—political and intellectual, as well as religious and administrative—relating to political economy, legal geography, and sovereignty. It also considers the messy realities of the imperial project, including the costs and losses of empire, both collectively and individually.
