{"product_id":"9781526167002","title":"Making the British Empire, 1660-1800 by Jason Peacey","description":"This collection offers a timely reappraisal of the origins and nature of the first British empire, in response to the `cultural turn' in historical scholarship and the `new imperial history'. 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 `policy' and its implementation. It analyses a range of contemporary debates and ideas - political and intellectual as well as religious and administrative - 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. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302549238133,"sku":"9781526167002","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526167002.jpg?v=1762792835","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526167002","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
