[edit]Anglophilia (uncountable)
- The love of the country, culture or people of England.
- 2007 August 12, Christopher Hitchens, “Harry Potter: The Boy Who Lived”, in New York Times[1]:
- Perhaps Anglophilia continues to play its part, but if I were one of the few surviving teachers of Anglo-Saxon I would rejoice at the way in which such terms as muggle and Wizengamot, and such names as Godric, Wulfric and Dumbledore, had become common currency.
- 2010 June 14, Charlie Brooker, The Guardian:
- But now, as a company with the word "British" in its name pisses apocalyptic quantities of oil into the ocean, and CEO Tony Hayward pops up on the news to make tactless statements in a British accent, anglophilia is shrivelling.
