Summary

"England" by Charles Dudley Warner is a narrative from the 1800s that examines England's global impact through a wide lens. It reflects on how this relatively small island became such a powerful force in the world. Warner points out England's geography, which promoted sea travel and commerce. He also emphasizes the importance of the English people's mixed heritage, which led to their bold nature and focus on individual freedom, both of which influenced their society. Warner gives light to key moments in English events, like their colonization efforts and the ways cultures mixed as a result. The author looks at the growth of England's strength, the difficult aspects of its imperial goals, and what all of this means for today's communities and governments.
