I'm looking for some good examples of literature dating to the days of the British Empire. Anything from pro-imperialist texts to anti-imperialist diatribes, writings about life in nascent colonies, etc

Much of Conrad, specifically I'd recommend Lord Jim.

I quite like Antony Burgess' Malay trilogy, Orwell's Burmese Days is great too.

While written well past the British Empire's heyday, J.G. Farrell's Empire Trilogy is great historical fiction covering the period
