During this period, the Company shifted its activities and increasingly employed civil servants, army officers, surveyors, and doctors, many of whom returned to Britain with newly acquired wealth, tastes, and identities. This book explored how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. This book moved beyond conventional academic narratives by drawing on wider research, exploring how the empire in Asia shaped British country houses, thus contributing to the ongoing conversation on imperial culture and its British legacies.HumanitiesInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Interior decorationHumanities.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Interior decoration.001.3Finn Margot C.Smith Kate1981-NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910678578303321East India Company at Home, 1757-18572089337UNINA
