Belief in the destiny of imperial England profoundly shaped the imagination of the first generation of professional historians. But with the Empire ended, do these mental habits still haunt historical explanation?\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on postcolonial theory in a lively mix of historical and theoretical chapters, \u003cem\u003eThe Expansion of England\u003c\/em\u003e explores the history of the British Empire and the practice of historical enquiry itself. There are essays on Asia, Australasia, the West Indies, South Africa and Britain.
