TERRAQUEOUS HISTORIES ALISON BASHFORD University of Cambridge Abstract: In her Inaugural Lecture, Alison Bashford, Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, introduces the concept of ‘terraqueous histories’. Maritime historians often stake large claims on world history, and it is indeed the case that the connections and distinctions between land and sea are everywhere in the many traditions of world history-writing. Collapsing the land/sea couplet is useful and ‘terraqueous’ history serves world historians well. The term returns the ‘globe’ to global history, it signals sea as well as land as claimable territory, and in its compound construction foregrounds the history and historiography of meeting places. If the Vere Harmsworth Chair of Imperial and Naval History has recently turned from ‘imperial’ into ‘world’ history, so might its ‘naval’ element become terraqueous history in the twenty-first century. 1 ‘Imperial and naval history’ is an idiosyncratic couplet. Its complex relation to world history charts curious twists and turns in twentieth-century historiography. The first Vere Harmsworth professor, John Holland Rose, presented his inaugural – ‘Naval History and National History’ – on Trafalgar Day, 1919. Well might he do so, since the chair was originally dedicated solely to naval history.1 Prompted by the Royal Empire Society, ‘imperial’ was only added in 1932, and was in place for the election of Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond. And yet Richmond reverted to naval history even more strongly than Holland Rose. Historicising and contextualising his own profession, he presented ‘Naval History and the Citizen’ as his inaugural in 1934.2 Since then, the study of imperial history has dominated the work of successive Vere Harmsworth chairs, with land-history and sea-history receding and advancing, like the tides: E.A. -

This monograph is a painstaking and thought- provoking attempt to write a global history of the nineteenth century. -
