Reviews

This important collection of essays ranges across the globe to illuminate key debates about the greatly enlarged and much more variegated British empire that emerged in the decade after the end of the Seven Years War. The various contributions, by established scholars and early career historians, add up to a rich feast for anyone wanting to know more about eighteenth-century Britain and its empire. * Stephen Conway, Professor of History, UCL, University of London, UK *
