Résumé
The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism has been a catalyst for far-reaching change. This new series allows us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginnings, the meaning of British imperialism for the mied as well as the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history.
Volume I of the series explores the origins of empire. Leading historians show how and why England, and later Britain, became involved with transoceanic navigation, trade, and settlement during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Origins of Empire illustrates the interconnections between developments in Europe and overseas, the ethical issues raised by encounters with peoples previously unknown to Europeans, and the ways in which colonists struggled to justify their conduct and activities.
