Tea and Empire: James Taylor in Victorian Ceylon Hardcover - 2017
by Angela McCarthy; T. Devine
From the rear cover
This book brings to life for the first time the remarkable story of James Taylor, the 'father of the Ceylon tea enterprise' in the nineteenth century. Publicly celebrated in Sri Lanka for his efforts in transforming the country's economy and shaping the world's drinking habits, Taylor died in disgrace and remains unknown to the present day in his native Scotland. Using a unique archive of Taylor's letters, written over a forty-year period, Angela McCarthy and Tom Devine provide an unusually detailed reconstruction of a British planter's life in Asia at the high noon of empire.
As well as charting the development of Ceylon's key commodities in the nineteenth century, the book examines the dark side of planting life including violence and conflict, oppression and despair. A range of other fascinating themes are evocatively examined, including graphic depictions of the Indian Mutiny, 'race' and ethnicity, environmental transformation, cross-cultural contact, and emotional ties to home. Featuring many fascinating unpublished photographs, the book's publication in 2017 commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Ceylon tea economy and the 125th anniversary of Taylor's death. It will appeal to imperial and migration historians, science and environmental enthusiasts, those interested in the story of the global Scottish diaspora, and of course, tea drinkers.Details
