Abstract
The British East India Company went through a period of profound change in the 50 year long period between 1763 and 1813. This Master degree explores how three major British historical works portrays this shift of focus for the Company, namely The Cambridge History of the British Empire (1929), The Founding of the Second British Empire (1952) and The Oxford History of the British Empire (1988/1999). The historiographical survey shows how British historians of the 20th century all were part of a great tradition, where generations of historians had a huge impact on the following. At the same time, changing interpretations of the contemporary Empire brought about shifts in views concerning the Company.
 
I perioden fra 1763 til 1813 forvandler Det britiske østindiske handelskompaniet seg fra å drive med handel, til å bli territorialherre i India. Denne oppgaven formidler hvordan denne overgangen er fremstilt i tre forskjellige britiske historieverk på 1900-tallet; henholdsvis The Cambridge History of the British Empire mellomkrigstid, The Founding of the Second British Empire (etterkrigstid) og på terskelen til et nytt årtusen (The Oxford History of the British Empire). Med historiografi som metode avdekker den hvordan britiske imperiehistorikere er bundet til en sterk fagtradisjon, som legger styringer på historien som til enhver tid kommer til uttrykk - ikke minst i brytningspunktet mellom de to universitetene ved Cambridge og Oxford.
