Civilising Subjects: Metropole and Colony in the English Imagination 1830-1867 | Catherine Hall
This volume argues that the empire was at the heart of 19th century Englishness. It tells stories of a group of English men and women who constructed themselves as colonizers. It then uses these studies as a means of exploring wider colonial issues.
