Shiffer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 3 of 3), Essay 9: The Expansion of England" by John Morley is an analytical essay likely written in the early 20th century. This work falls under the category of historical examination and political analysis, exploring the dynamics of England's geopolitical expansion, particularly through colonization and its implications for both the metropole and its colonies. The essay invites a critical reevaluation of the 18th century, positioning it as a transformative period in which England's history was significantly shaped not only in Europe but across America and Asia. In this essay, Morley engages with themes of colonialism, the interrelationship between politics and history, and the socio-economic factors driving England's expansion. He critiques contemporary historical analyses, particularly those by Mr. Seeley, for underestimating the importance of colonies in shaping England's national identity and global standing. Morley examines significant events such as the American Revolution and the expansion into India, arguing that these moments were critical in redefining England's role on the world stage. Through his discourse, he brings attention to the tensions between growth and governance, and the historical narratives that shape our understanding of national power and identity. Overall, Morley's work underscores the intricate connections between history, politics, and national expansion within the broader context of the British Empire's development.
