Anglomania

Anglomania designates, among the French and Germans, a weak imitation of English manners and customs, or an indiscriminate admiration of English institutions. In German literature, an Anglomania was especially prevalent in the 18th century, when translations of English books became numerous, and were read with great admiration. A remarkable Anglomania prevailed in France for some time before the commencement of the Revolution, arising out of admiration of English free institutions. But another kind of Anglomania is often limited to trifles such as fashions and society manners, and in this sense is not unknown in the United States.
