Pub Year 1973, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Heaven's Command: An Imperial Progress by James Morris serves as the inaugural volume in his trilogy focused on the Victorian Empire. This narrative work, while complete in itself, is designed to lead into the central volume, Pax Britannica, which has already been published. Unlike its predecessor, Heaven's Command explores both time and space through a series of episodes, descriptive passages, character studies, and vivid evocations, chronicling the British Empire from Queen Victoria's accession in 1837 to her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The final paragraph of this volume seamlessly transitions into the opening of the next, establishing a continuous historical narrative.The scope of Heaven's Command is extensive, showcasing a panorama of locations ranging from Sierra Leone and the Ionian Islands to Fiji, Zululand, and the Canadian prairies. Notable figures from this era, such as Hangman Eyre of Jamaica and Truganini, the last Tasmanian, come to life alongside events like the arrival of the last survivor of the Afghan War at Jallalabad and the Government Steam Train traveling along the Grand Trunk Road. Readers are transported to significant moments in history, experiencing the military sacking of the Asantahene's capital and the exclusion of Bishop Colenso from his cathedral in Pietermaritzburg.This rich tapestry of history allows readers to visit a diverse array of settings?ships, botanical gardens, hill stations, sugar plantations, and both a well in Oxfordshire and an English Camp off the coast of Washington, illustrating the vastness and complexity of the Victorian Empire during this pivotal era.
