  Both an advocate and a critic of British imperialism, Harriet Martineau was a persistent champion of the Civilizing Mission. This study of Martineau's writings on the evolution of the British Empire in the nineteenth century elaborates the ways in which Martineau's works reflect Victorian concerns about radically shifting social ideologies.
