- 1804, William Blake, Milton, Vol. I, Preface:
- And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?...
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green & pleasant Land.
- 1864, Victor Hugo, chapter 6, in Amédée Baillot, transl., William Shakespeare:
- What is England? She is Elizabeth... To live alone, to go alone, to reign alone, to be alone,—such is Elizabeth, such is England...
England has two books: one which she has made, the other which has made her,—Shakespeare and the Bible. These two books do not agree together... Shakespeare thinks, Shakespeare dreams, Shakespeare doubts... Moreover, Shakespeare invents.
- 1941, George Orwell, The Lion and the Unicorn, Pt. I:
- England is not the jewelled isle of Shakespeare's much-quoted passage, nor is it the inferno depicted by Dr Goebbels. More than either it resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income.
- 1983, William S. Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads, page 203:
- England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire.
- 2012, Maureen Johnson, The Madness Underneath:
- "This is England," he explained. "Tell someone it's a procedure, and they'll believe you. The pointless procedure is one of our great natural resources."
- 2013 March 25, David Sedaris, "Long Way Home" in The New Yorker:
- Had they responded this way in France or America, this wouldn't have surprised me, but wasn't everyone in England supposed to be a detective? Wasn't every crime, no matter how complex, solved in a timely fashion by either a professional or a hobbyist? That's the impression you get from British books and TV shows.
- (chiefly law, historical or obsolete) Synonym of England and Wales.
- (proscribed, sometimes offensive) Synonym of United Kingdom.
- A habitational презиме..
- (United States) Lua грешка in Модул:place at line 167: attempt to index upvalue 'implication_data' (a nil value)..
Usage notes
уредиAs England has always constituted the most populous and important of the kingdoms comprising the United Kingdom, it has historically been used metonymously for the UK as a whole in English and (in translation) other languages as well. This usage is now considered uninformed or insulting, particularly to subjects of the other parts of the UK. The 1746 Wales & Berwick Act formalized the previous informal understanding that laws referencing the Kingdom of England alone also applied to the Principality of Wales; this continued to be the case until the 1967 Welsh Language Act required that any similarly general laws afterwards must specify England and Wales separately.

Usage notes
уреди- In formal usage, England referring to Great Britain or the United Kingdom is now very rare.
- In common speech, England continues to be the most common word for the two respective entities as a whole. It is, however, now uncommon to use England when referring specifically to a place or incident in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. In such a case, the respective word would normally be used (Schottland, Wales, Nordirland).
- The usage including the Republic of Ireland, which is sometimes heard, is conspicuously nonstandard.
