Abstract
The immensity of the British Empire had much, if not everything, to owe to its colonies which were the main source of its financial and trading goods. The influence of colonialism was extensive both on the colonies and on the Empire itself. It spread further than British political rule and was visible in cultural, social, political, literary, and other spheres. To show the influence on the literary sphere, this paper will deal with two novels written eighty years apart by two British authors. Both novels, as it will be shown, deal with the construction of Britishness through their main characters. The novels in question are Rudyard Kipling’s Kim and J. G. Ballard’s Empire of the Sun.
