- Summary:
- Although the phrase “the empire on which the sun never sets” was originally used by Charles V of the House of Habsburg to refer to the beginnings of Spanish colonial expansion, it reappeared in the nineteenth century, when it came to be popularly employed in the context of the British Empire – the largest such political unit in the modern history of the world. At its height, it covered about 36 million square kilometers, or roughly a quarter of our planet's surface. The empire played a fundamental role in shaping the contemporary world, formulating the preconditions for defining the principles of democracy and international cooperation and even issues related to multiculturalism. From a paper “A Few Comments on the British Empire of Yesterday and Today” by prof. dr hab. Krystyna Kujawińska-CourtneyThe University of Łódź The interdisciplinary character of this scientific publication is its undeniable merit. Combining the reflections of literature, history and culture scholars in the book resulted in a complex and interesting work which discusses the phenomenon in question from a number of perspectives, thus becoming cognitively attractive for readers representing different interests, viewpoints and academic fields. From the review of dr hab. Aleksandra Budrewicz, prof. of Pedagogical University of Cracow
