Abstract

Long regarded as the ‘Little England’ era, they have now been dubbed, amid much controversy, the golden age of British expansion overseas. This new-found glory, however, has not been without its detractors, and the debate concerning both the ‘imperialism of free trade’ and Victorian arguments about empire has by no means ended.
