East India Company , The
This is the first short history of the East India Company from its founding in 1600 to its demise in 1857, designed for students and academics. The Company was central to the growth of the British Empire in India, to the development of overseas trade, and to the rise of shareholder capitalism, so this survey will be essential reading for imperial and economic historians and historians of Asia alike. It stresses the neglected early years of the Co…

An important contribution to both Anglo-Indian and imperial historiography, it also reflec…

Sapped by Corruption
Assessing the role of the Quebec Act, 1774, in the drama of deteriorating Anglo-American relations has proved contentious for historians. There is no secret why this should be so. The Quebec Act is an enigma in a period of imperial crisis, carrying a different historical message for each of those nations directly affected by the legislation: America, Canada and Britain. The national histories of these three nations have become very specialized an…
The Imperial Challenge
A Perspective on British History and the Treatment of Quebec
This essay explores the way British history has dealt with the Conquest of Quebec and its aftermath, 1760-74, over the last seventy-five years or so. The first part of the essay is an analysis of why accounts of the Conquest and the passage of the Quebec Act used to play a central role in any history of Hanoverian Britain, prior to the Second World War; then, conversely, how these same events barely warrant a mention in present day texts and mono…
Imperial Challenge
Philip Lawson examines the profound effect that the conquest of Quebec had on British politics and imperial thought in the years leading to the signing of the Quebec Act in 1774. He reinterprets the standard accounts of the conquest of Quebec in 1760, challenging prevailing ideas about political traditions and philosophical assumptions in mid-eighteenth-century Britain.

The Irishman's Prize’
This was how the Public Advertiser greeted the passage of the Quebec Act through parliament in June 1774. It was a remarkable transformation from the ecstasy evident in newspaper reports that greeted the fall of New France in 1760. As early as November 1759 the city of Nottingham singled out the North American campaign as the glorious core of British strategy. Its loyal address congratulated the king ‘particularly upon the defeat of the French ar…

Robert Clive, the ‘Black Jagir’, and British Politics
Two points may be safely made about biographies of Robert Clive. One is that the first adequately documented biography, by Sir John Malcolm, published in 1836, has never really been superseded, because it was solidly based on family papers made available by Lord Powis. The other is that if the modern general reader has any acquaintance with Malcolm’s work it is likely to derive from the sonorous prose of the oft-reprinted review which Lord Macaul…

RENVILLE never forgot the Stamp Act, never forgave those t T who repealed it, and never ceased to urge the policy he had initiated. This summary of George Grenville's conduct in opposition has found few detractors since it was written some twenty-five years ago.' It is a fair portrait of a man obsessed with an ill-fated policy, trying desperately to justify his actions for posterity. Yet it requires basic qualification and correction. Grenville's…
