England as described by Jean Rhys, is a region of the United Kingdom widely known, yet often not known at all. In both Voyage in the Dark and Wide Sargasso Sea Rhys compares England to a dream, something fantastical, not necessarily well understood. There is even a moment in Wide Sargasso Sea, when Christophine asks if England is a real place and the narrator assures her that it is, to which then she regards the land as something she does not see, yet must believe in - almost like a religion.
