Between 1700 and 1850, the Church of England emerged as one of the most influential institutions in Britain and across its empire. Rowan Strong explores how Anglicanism functioned as an imperial ideology shaping identities of colonists, indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, and the English at home. Through regional case studies—such as colonial North America, Bengal, and settler societies in Australia and New Zealand—Strong traces the evolution of Anglican imperialism, including mechanisms like the Colonial Bishoprics Fund, arguing for Anglicanism's central role in building and maintaining British imperial culture.
