Empire Families

Zusatztext ...an inspired study...a valuable and scholarly contribution to the social history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, adding a new dimension to Britain's imperial past. Klappentext While social and cultural historians of imperial India have enhanced our knowledge of how British men and women made their lives and careers in the Empire! the wider family practices that lay behind Britain's presence in India have received scant attention to date. 'Empire Families' brings these to the fore by focusing on child-rearing patterns and family experiences taking place on both British and Indian soil! as well as the life course these men and women took. Zusammenfassung Examines the British overseas community by looking at a series of families, their lives in India, and their travels back to Britain. Focusing on the experiences of parents and children alike, and including the Beveridge, Butler, Orwell, and Kipling families, this work uncovers the meanings of growing up in the Raj and an imperial lifestyle.
