Definition: Anglophilia, a term describing an intense affection for or obsession with Anglo-Saxon culture, often used by English-speaking Americans. It refers to a deep, personal love/hate relationship between Anglo-Americans and their Anglo-European heritage, including their language, customs, and traditions. This obsession stems from a sense of loss, as Anglo-American identity and cultural norms have been diluted in the face of the influx of immigrants from other nations like Britain.
