摘要

本文考察了查尔斯·迪尔克(Charles Dilke)的《大不列颠》(1868)的持久影响，这种影响至今仍存在于脱欧支持者的野心中。迪尔克把英国描述为一个由共同身份联系在一起的世界体系的中心。然而，他对这种身份的解释却自相矛盾。虽然他主要从种族角度出发，但他也提出了文化和语言标准。这些不一致将使那些追随迪尔克脚步的人界定和描绘大不列颠范围的努力复杂化。这其中包括主要的脱欧派，他们提出了大不列颠的现代版本——盎格鲁文化圈(Anglosphere)，作为欧盟成员国之外的另一种选择。

The Dream of Greater Britain

This article examines the enduring influence of Charles Dilke’s Greater Britain (1868), which persists today in the ambitions of Brexit’s proponents. Dilke characterized Britain as the center of a world system bound together by a common identity. Yet his explanation of that identity was riddled with inconsistencies. While he cast it mainly in racial terms, he also proposed cultural and linguistic criteria. These inconsistencies would complicate the efforts to define and delineate the reach of Greater Britain by those who followed in Dilke’s footsteps. This includes the leading Brexiteers who have advanced Greater Britain’s modern iteration, the Anglosphere, as an alternative to EU membership.
