Description

Character, Ethics and Economics: British Debates on Empire, 1860-1914 by Routledge provides a detailed examination of the concept of character as a moral marker during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores how character talk helped shape the identity of elite Britons and was used to justify the empire both morally and materially to audiences in Britain and its conquered territories. While imperialists used these arguments to present the empire as a force for good, the text also looks at the perspectives of a small group of radical thinkers. These individuals questioned the arguments of the imperialists, even as they struggled to escape the prevailing sense of the era. This work is an essential resource for those studying British history, imperial ethics, and the social debates of the 1860-1914 period.
