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. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 606 $aGeneral & world history$2bicssc 606 $aRegional & national history$2bicssc 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 606 $aAsian history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of other lands$2bicssc 606 $aModern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900$2bicssc 610 $aempire 610 $aeast india company 610 $aasia 610 $abritain 610 $aEnglish country house 615 7$aHistory 615 7$aGeneral & world history 615 7$aRegional & national history 615 7$aEuropean history 615 7$aAsian history 615 7$aHistory of other lands 615 7$aModern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900 676 $a745.4492 700 $aSmith$b Kate$4edt$0596042 702 $aFinn$b Margot$4edt 702 $aSmith$b Kate$4oth 702 $aFinn$b Margot$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836796303321 996 $aThe East India Company at Home 1757-1857$94131778 997 $aUNINA
