Reflecting on the British World: Essays in Honour of Carl Bridge

This book is an acknowledgement and celebration of Professor Carl Bridge’s key contributions to the British World approach to history. His pioneering work was first published in several co-authored essays which appeared in 2003. Much of this grew out of a series of conferences held worldwide, starting in London in 1999 and culminating in Bristol in 2007. Scores of articles and book chapters have been produced - too numerous to mention here. At the nucleus of the project is Professor Bridge, who has encouraged a newer and younger generation of scholars - some of whom have contributed to this volume - to continue investigating the British World as a theoretical construct in the fields of British imperial and settler colonial history, with a particular focus on Australia. This book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of the British World, British imperial history, the history of the First World War, the history of Australian foreign policy, and the history of Australian national identity and culture.
