| book description |

This collection offers a timely reappraisal of the origins and nature of the first British empire, in response to the â€˜cultural turnâ€™ in historical scholarship and the â€˜new imperial historyâ€™. It addresses topics that have been neglected in recent literature, providing a series of political and institutional perspective; at the same time it recognises the importance of developments across the empire, not least in terms of how they affected imperial â€˜policyâ€™ and its implementation. It analyses a range of contemporary debates and ideas â€“ political and intellectual as well as religious and administrative â€“ relating to political economy, legal geography and sovereignty, as well as the messy realities of the imperial project, including the costs and losses of empire, collectively and individually. -- .
