Book Description
Imperial Sceptics provides a highly original analysis of the emergence of opposition to the British Empire from 1850–1920. Departing from existing accounts, which have focused upon the Boer War and the writings of John Hobson, Gregory Claeys proposes a new chronology for the contours of resistance to imperial expansion. 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 onwards, revealing a fundamental division over whether a new conception of ‘socialist imperialism' could appeal to the electorate and satisfy economic demands. Based upon extensive archival research, and utilising rare printed sources, Imperial Sceptics will prove a major contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century political thought, shedding new light on theories of nationalism, patriotism, the state and religion.

  • A highly original analysis of the emergence of opposition to the British Empire
  • Gregory Claeys is a distinguished historian of nineteenth-century political thought: this book will shed fresh light on theories of nationalism, patriotism, the state and religion
  • Should become the standard text in courses on Victorian imperialism, a popular subject in many major research universities
Review
"The book explores a variety of fascinating subthemes: lively disputes over the sovereignty of the state, contestations over the possibilities and limitations of religions fostering a tolerant cosmopolitanism, and the development of internationalism. This is a compelling study that revises the chronology of antagonism to empire and advances novel arguments about the legacy of Positivism and the religious sources and the communitarian ideals at the heart of anti-imperialism at the height of empire." -- S. M. den Otter, Queen’s University, Canada, Journal of British Studies
