The Library has acquired the online version of the Encyclopedia of Empire, a 2015 publication chiefly edited by John M. MacKenzie of Lancaster University. The work includes in-depth and comparative coverage of empire “in ancient, medieval, and modern periods, including European as well as non-European experiences of empire.”
“Entries in this work are written by a team of international, interdisciplinary scholars from fields including history, geography, literature, architecture, urban planning, gender studies, linguistics, anthropology and more. All the contributions have been peer-reviewed and are written in an accessible style for readers new to the field.”
