Abstract

The rise of cultural history has played a significant role in how we think about and narrate imperialism from the ancient world to the twentieth century. For decades the province of geopolitics, diplomacy and the “official mind”, imperial history is now just as likely to be told from the bottom up as from the top down. The aim of this article is to show how, by adopting the methods of cultural history, histories of empire have been transformed in the last two decades. Cultural histories of empire investigate often overlooked subjects and offer new angles of vision on familiar topics through a cultural lens.
