The work argues that following several decades of largely uncritical celebration of the empire as a vibrant commercial entity that had made Britain prosperous and powerful, a growing familiarity with the character of overseas territories and their inhabitants during and after the Seven Years' War produced a substantial critique of empire. This critique evolved out of a widespread revulsion against the behaviours exhibited by Britons overseas and built on a language of 'otherness' that metropolitans had used since the beginning of overseas expansion to describe its participants, the societies and polities that Britons abroad constructed in their new habitats. It used the languages of humanity and justice as standards to evaluate and condemn the behaviours of both overseas Britons and subaltern people in the British Empire, whether in India, the Americas, Africa or Ireland. 517 3 $aEvaluating Empire & Confronting Colonialism in Eighteenth-Century Britain 606 $aImperialism$xPublic opinion$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism$xPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xHistory 676 $a325/.34109033 686 $aHIS015000$2bisacsh 700 $aGreene$b Jack P.$0213282 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811496403321 996 $aEvaluating empire and confronting colonialism in eighteenth-century Britain$94051782 997 $aUNINA
