Eastern isles, western isles: Geographical imaginaries and trans-island identities in British conceptions of Japan, 1800–1868 Journal of Historical Geography (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2024-10-28 Annabel Storr
Ideas of islands shaped Britain's self-identity and its relationship with the wider world in the early and mid-nineteenth century. Existing interpretations of Anglo-Japanese relations have emphasized the development of the idea of Japan as the ‘Britain of the East’ in the late nineteenth century with the significance of Japan adopting a western model of development. This article argues for a critical
