Imperial Steam: Modernity on the Sea Route to India, 1837-74

Imperial Steam: Modernity on the Sea Route to India, 1837-74 Imperial steam explores the early history of a steamship route which was at the heart of the functioning of the British Empire. More so than the practical changes wrought by steam, the book argues that the modernity associated with the steamship provided a powerful imaginative frame of reference for narrating Britains place in its imperial world. -- .
