Emerging from a long and exhausting conflict against the Boers in South Africa, Edwardians are often perceived as rocked by a profound set of doubts about the future of the British Empire. Drawing upon a wide range of popular sources, this study considers the level of middle-class engagement with such strains of pessimistic thought.

Christopher Prior is Lecturer in Twentieth Century History at the University of Southampton, UK. He is the author of Exporting Empire: Africa, Colonial Officials and the Construction of the Imperial State, c.1900-39 (2013).
