The liberal Radical MP Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke (1843 1911)
campaigned for (among many other causes) votes for women and
labourers, legalisation of trade unions, and universal education.
His republican sentiments damaged his political reputation, and
earned him the hostility of Queen Victoria. However, despite his
views on the monarchy he was an imperialist, and his early work,
Greater Britain (1868; also available in this series), was widely
read. In the 1890s he became known as a parliamentary expert on
military, colonial and foreign affairs. This 1892 work, co-written
with Spenser Wilkinson (1853 1937), a journalist and military
historian, together with Dilke's earlier work, Problems of Greater
Britain, led to the founding of a parliamentary committee on
imperial defence. The book argues that, while hoping to avert war
by diplomacy, the Government has a duty to maintain a naval and
military force to protect the interests of its citizens.
