How is the island of Great Britain referred to country in the singular in this book?
as the book in question puts parenthises around the world England. and this is not in the original speech. it may refer to the island of great britain really not england and also england and the principality wales but I think it refers to one country as the original language may of not used the word country or else it may refer to the country as its under one monarch. or else it may be talkking prinicpally about what is of england. Another answer The British Isles are a group of islands off the northwest coast of mainland Europe. Look on a map and you will see there are 2 main islands, the smaller one being Ireland and the larger one being Great Britain. There are 2 Sovereign States located on these islands - The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The island of Great Britain contains the countries of England, Scotland and Wales. It is unfortunate that so many people, particularly Americans , refer to Great Britain as "England" which causes a lot of confusion.
