Rezensionen

'This witty, allusive and important study illuminates how 'the discipline of the sea' made England an island nation and Britain an imperial power. By showing how British history, politics and identity were formed through and against not only other islands but also Asia and continental Europe, Scott brings postcolonial, transnational and revisionist perspectives into productive proximity to produce a new and tantalizing reading of the languages of power.'
