520 1 $a"Throughout the nineteenth century the British Empire was the subject of much writing; floods of articles, books and government reports were produced about the areas under British control and the overall idea of imperialism. Mid-Victorian Imperialists investigates how the Victorians made sense of all the information regarding the Empire. It examines the writings of a collection of gentlemen who were amongst the first people to join the Colonial Society in 1868 and 1869. These men included imperial officials, leading settlers, British politicians and writers.
520 8 $aBeasley looks at the common trends in their beliefs about the British Empire and how their thoughts changed during their lives, shedding light on how mid-Victorian theories of racial, cultural and political classification arose. The book focuses on the lives of particular men and their thoughts on empire to reveal how Victorian ideologies of imperialism came about."--Jacket.
