What is the imperial history of Exeter? This study uncovers its place in the British Empire and that of the empire’s place in the hearts, minds and lived experience of its people. It shows how imperialism once permeated everyday life. The books do not glorify or chastise the past but aim to recognise a history which has long been glossed over.
