Imperial Sceptics: British Critics of Empire, 1850-1920
ISBN: 9781107407091 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Imperial Sceptics provides a highly original analysis of the emergence of opposition to the British Empire from 1850 1920.

Claeys locates the impetus for such opposition in the late 1850s with the British followers of Auguste Comte. Tracing critical strands of anti-imperial thought through to the First World War, Claeys then scrutinises the full spectrum of socialist writings from the early 1880s...
