The essays in this volume began life as papers delivered at a series of workshops hosted by the international research network, Commodities and Cultures in the Colonial World, 1851–1915. These workshops were supported by the Leverhulme Trust and held in London, Kolkata and New York between 2010 and 2013. With his co-editors, Brian Murray helped to organise these events and later worked with co-editors to select fourteen of the best papers to be revised and written-up as chapters. Murray and the other editors gave contributors detailed advice and feedback on how best to reformulate their work in light of the overarching concerns of the volume. In 2014, the editors convened an international teleconference at which contributors presented their work-in-progress and responded to detailed feedback from editors and other contributors. Finally, Murray co-wrote and researched the introductory chapter with his co-editors; helped contributors to fine tune their essays in response to readers’ reports; and co-compiled the front matter, bibliography and index. Murray is also the sole-author and researcher of Chapter 13 (Ulysses in ‘darkest Africa’: Transporting Tennyson with H.M. Stanley and Edwin Arnold).
