Description: Nabobs by Tillman W. Nechtman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this book, Tillman Nechtman considers nabobs, a term used by domestic critics when referring to East India Company employees, who caused controversy in returning to Britain by bringing elements of the subcontinents culture with them, thereby igniting the debate regarding British identity and British imperialism in the late eighteenth century. Publisher Description In this book, Tillman Nechtman explores the relationship between Britain and its empire in the late eighteenth century through the controversy that surrounded employees of the East India Company. Labelled as nabobs by their critics, Company employees returned from India, bringing the subcontinents culture with them - souvenirs like clothing, foods, jewels, artwork, and animals. To the nabobs, imperial keepsakes were a way of narrating their imperial biographies, lives that braided Britain and India together. However, their domestic critics preferred to see Britain as distinct from empire and so saw the nabobs as a dangerous community of people who sought to reverse the currents of imperialism and to bring the empire home. Drawing on cultural, material, and visual history, this book captures a far wider picture of the fascinating controversy and sheds considerable new light on the tensions and contradictions inherent in British national identity in the late eighteenth century. Author Biography Tillman W. Nechtman is Assistant Professor of British and British Imperial History at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. He is the author of numerous articles on British imperial history. Details ISBN 0521763533 ISBN-13 9780521763530 Title Nabobs Author Tillman W.
