This collection of essays investigates the fundamental role that the loss of colonial territories at the end of the Ancient Regime and post-World War II has played in shaping French memories and colonial discourses. In identifying loss and nostalgia as key tropes in cultural representations, these essays call for a re-evaluation of French colonialism as a discourse informed not just by narratives of conquest, but equally by its histories of defeat.

Excerpt from Remains of Lost Empires: Sketches of the Ruins of Palmyra, Nineveh, Babylon, and Persepolis, With Some Notes on India and the Cashmerian Himalayas These several expeditions to the tropics naturally strengthened my brother's love for his favorite pur suit; for in all his tropical travels botany was his engrossing study. They also awakened in him an ardent desire to visit the Himalayas of India, and examine the flora of their elevated forest and table lands. My own interest - an amateur's - in geology, and especially in glacial phenomena, also led me to look toward the Himalayas as a rare field for the study of ancient glacial action. A proposal to my brother that our projected post-graduation European tour be extended into Asia, and that there we should seek fresher fields of observation and research than Europe has to offer, met with an enthusiastic re spouse. He wrote: What if we fall by the way; will it not be in preparing ourselves for better work? And it will be well.
