内容説明
Volume III of The Oxford History of the British Empire covers the long nineteenth century, from the achievement of American independence in the 1780s to the eve of world war in 1914. This was the period of Britain's greatest expansion as both empire-builder and dominant world power. The volume is divided into two parts. The first contains thematic chapters, some focusing on Britain, others on areas at the imperial periphery, exploring those fundamental dynamics of British expansion which made imperial influence and rule possible. They also examine the economic, cultural, and institutional frameworks which gave shape to Britain's overseas empire. Part 2 is devoted to the principal areas of imperial activity overseas, including both white settler and tropical colonies. Chapters examine how British interests and imperial rule shaped individual regions' nineteenth-century political and social-economic history. Themes dealt with include the economics of empire, imperial institutions, defence, technology, imperial and colonial cultures, science and exploration. Attention is given not only to the formal empire, from Australasia and the West Indies to India and the African colonies, but also to China and Latin America, often regarded as central components of a British `informal empire'. Series Blurb 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 was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study allows us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginnings, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history
Book Description
Volume III covers the long watershed that was the nineteenth century, from the American independence of the 1780s to the eve of world war in 1914. This period saw Britain's greatest expansion as an empire-builder and a dominant world power.
We begin with several thematic chapters--some are on Britain while others consider the empire's periphery--exploring the key dynamics of British expansion that made imperial influence possible and imperial rule prevalent. Also studied are the economic, cultural, and institutional frameworks that shaped Britain's overseas empire. Focus then shifts to the principal areas of imperial activity overseas, including both white-settler and tropical colonies, and the question of how British interests and imperial rule shaped the political, social, and economic histories of individual regions. Themes addressed in this regard include economics, institutions, defense, technology, imperial and colonial cultures, science, and exploration. The volume examines not only the formal empire, stretching from Australasia and the West Indies to India and the African colonies, but also China and Latin America, the central components of Britain's so-called "informal" empire.
About the series
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. It deals with the interaction of British and non-western societies from the Elizabethan era to the late twentieth century, aiming to provide a balanced treatment of the ruled as well as the rulers, and to take into account the significance of the Empire for the peoples of the British Isles. All five of the volumes in this series fully explore economic and social trends as well as political ones.

An Excellent Reference Book
2010/3/3
形式:ペーパーバック
"The Oxford History of the British Empire" is a very serious historical work that looks at the history of the British Empire from many very differing points of view. This book is the third volue of a five volume series on the history of the British Empire and the general theme of this book is the history of the Britsh Empire in the nineteenth cenutry. Rather than being the work of one author, "The Oxford Hisotry of the British Empire - The Nineteenth Century" is an anthology of articles written by twenty nine different scholars, each of whom focused on their area of expertise.
This volume is divided in two parts. The first part adresses a range of themes related to the political, economic and social history of the British Empire during the nineteenth century. These themes include migration, trade, religion, science, imperial institutions, technology and many other topics. The second part is a series of articles that study different geographical areas, including South East Asia, India, the West Indies, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia, Southern Africa and Egypt. This book is also well supplied with graphs, maps, and a thorough chronology of the historical events that took place within the Empire during this time period. One note is that each article tends to have different timeframes that better correspond to important historical events, so the book does not rigidly follow the history of events that took place between 1800-1900.
"The Oxford History of the British Empire" is an invaluable reference book that brings together numerous different facets of British Imperial history. As such, with more than 700 pages of information, it is an excellent place source of information. I would recommend this book especially to people who are interested in one facet of British Imperial history and would like a handy resource to fill in gaps about other facets of British Imperial history. This book would also be of much interest to people who are interested in world history.
