Copyright
Dilke, Sir Charles Wentworth (1843–1911), radical statesman, held offices under
Gladstone. On his father's death in 1869 he inherited the baronetcy and the proprietorship of the
Athenaeum and
Notes and Queries. He was the author of
Greater Britain (1868);
Problems of Greater Britain (1890); and
The Fall of Prince Florestan of Monaco (1874), a political satire. In 1885, he married the widow of Mark
Pattison (née Emilia Francis Strong, 1840–1904, historian of French art). It has been suggested that Dilke might have succeeded Gladstone but for his connections with a divorce scandal (
Crawford v.
Crawford and Dilke) which led to his defeat and temporary retirement in 1886.
