About the book

Edward A. Freeman's «Greater Greece and Greater Britain; and, George Washington, the Expander of England» is a rich exploration of the cultural and historical connections between Hellenic heritage and British identity in the 19th century. Through a comparative analysis, Freeman employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, drawing on a wealth of historical texts and contemporary thought. He deftly situates his argument within the broader discourse of imperialist ideologies, examining how ideals of democracy and freedom, epitomized by George Washington, inspired both British expansion and the shaping of modern nationhood. Freeman, a noted historian and an early advocate for the study of medieval history, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of his time. His background in classical education and interest in the evolution of national identities propelled him to undertake this ambitious examination of the interplay between ancient Greek civilization and the emerging British Empire. Notably, Freeman's perspective was shaped by his experiences in both England and America, allowing him to provide a nuanced critique of nationalist narratives. This book is highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of history, literature, and cultural studies. Freeman'Äôs insights into the parallels between ancient and contemporary governance will resonate with readers seeking to understand the complexities of historical identity. Its arguments remain relevant today, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the threads that weave together the tapestry of Western civilization.
