Greater England

"Greater England" by J. Frederick Hodgetts presents an ambitious argument about the idea of a broader “England” beyond its traditional borders. Through a blend of political reflection and cultural analysis, the book explores how history, identity, and shared institutions can shape a wider community—one that links people across regions through common values, governance, and economic ties. Rather than treating national identity as something fixed, Hodgetts examines it as a living project: a vision of unity that raises questions about belonging, influence, and the future direction of a connected English-speaking world. Greater England is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1887.
