Perdita and Angelina or Romeward and Homeward: An Anglo-Roman Dialogue is a book written by Charles Edward Kennaway and originally published in 1857. The book is a dialogue between two women, Perdita and Angelina, who represent the contrasting cultural identities of England and Rome. The two women discuss their experiences and beliefs, exploring themes such as religion, morality, and the role of women in society. Perdita is an Englishwoman who is proud of her country’s Protestant heritage, while Angelina is a Roman Catholic who is equally proud of her faith and her Italian heritage. The two women engage in a lively debate about the merits of their respective cultures, discussing topics such as the role of women in society, the importance of tradition, and the nature of true morality. Throughout the book, Kennaway uses the dialogue between Perdita and Angelina to explore the cultural tensions between England and Rome in the mid-19th century. The book reflects the wider debate about the role of religion and tradition in society that was taking place at the time, and it offers a unique perspective on the cultural differences between England and Italy. Overall, Perdita and Angelina or Romeward and Homeward is a thought-provoking book that offers a fascinating insight into the cultural identities of England and Rome in the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, culture, and society in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
