Description

Explore the origins of British imperial thinking in Empire as the Triumph of Theory. This historical study examines the development of imperialistic thought in mid-Victorian England by focusing on the Colonial Society, a major pro-imperial pressure group founded in 1868. By analyzing the more than two hundred earliest members of this organization, the book provides a deep look into the people who first constructed a world-historical mission for the British Empire. Understanding these early constituencies is necessary for anyone studying the roots of the New Imperialism that emerged in the late nineteenth century. This work offers a detailed investigation into the social and political forces that shaped British foreign and colonial policy during a transformative era. It serves as a valuable resource for students and historians interested in the evolution of the British Empire and the intellectual frameworks that supported its expansion.
