{"product_id":"greater-rome-and-greater-britain-sir-charles-prestwood-lucas-9781108024013","title":"Greater Rome and Greater Britain","description":"In later Victorian England, although classical literature had long dominated education, Roman history and politics became popular areas of study, particularly after Queen Victoria became Empress of India in 1877. Many writers on colonialism drew parallels between the Roman and British Empires, but Sir Charles Lucas' book, first published in 1912, went further in its analysis. He stresses that the causes of an empire's growth and strength are numerous, and that geography and technological development are particularly important. Like writers such as Froude, he attempts to forecast the future development of the British Empire. He also points out differences between the two empires. Roman expansion was not accompanied by widespread emigration, in the way that British colonists settled North America and Australasia, for example. British India, manifesting the military and economic domination of a much larger subject people by a tiny administrative class, bore more resemblance to Roman imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sir Charles Prestwood Lucas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108024017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108024013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Sir Charles Prestwood Lucas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540456861951,"sku":"9781108024013","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3949489-89d4-49a6-9902-c4f2b634f3d5.jpg?v=1700588005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greater-rome-and-greater-britain-sir-charles-prestwood-lucas-9781108024013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
