The publication in 1933 of the Australia volume of the Cambridge History of the British Empire was a landmark in historical interpretation of the nation and its place in the world. In 1988, Cambridge University Press reissued this volume. Professor Geoffrey Bolton's introduction assesses the importance, historical context and legacy of the volume.
