"Greater Britain: A Record of Travel in English-Speaking Countries During 1866-7" by Charles Wentworth Dilke is a journey through nations connected by language but separated by distance, where the echoes of British influence resonate amidst diverse landscapes and societies. Beginning in Virginia, the author explores a land marked by the scars of war and the dawn of a new era for its people, engaging with the complex transformations of race and labor in the post-Civil War South. This sets the stage for a broader narrative that aims to capture the essence of English-speaking countries, their shared histories, and the ways they are diverging, offering a snapshot travel log of cultural and societal reflections from the late 1800s.
