Perdita and Angelina or Romeward and Homeward: An Anglo-Roman Dialogue is a book written by Charles Edward Kennaway and originally published in 1857. The book is a dialogue between two women, Perdita and Angelina, who represent the contrasting cultural identities of England and Rome.

The two women engage in a lively debate about the merits of their respective cultures, discussing topics such as the role of women in society, the importance of tradition, and the nature of true morality.

The book reflects the wider debate about the role of religion and tradition in society that was taking place at the time, and it offers a unique perspective on the cultural differences between England and Italy. Overall, Perdita and Angelina or Romeward and Homeward is a thought-provoking book that offers a fascinating insight into the cultural identities of England and Rome in the 19th century.
