  Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke - LoveToKnow 1911
(1810-1869), English politician, son of Charles Wentworth Dilke, proprietor and editor of The Athenaeum, was born in London on the 18th of February 1810, and was educated at Westminster school and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
At the close of the exhibition he was honoured by foreign sovereigns, and the queen offered him knighthood, which, however, he did not accept; he also declined a large remuneration offered by the royal commission.
In 1853 Dilke was one of the English commissioners at the New York Industrial Exhibition, and prepared a report on it.

 Lady Emilia Dilke
Charles Dilke had switched careers from art to politics, and was a leader in the radical wing of the Liberal party.
Dilke's personal papers were donated to the Bibliothèque de l'École des Beaux-Arts in honor of her friendship with Müntz.
Dilke was preceded in her gender by women like Anna Jameson (q.v.) but remains among the first women art historians and the very earliest to be concerned with primary source material as a component of art history.

Wentworth Dilke, after giving birth in 1850 to her second child, Ashton Dilke, had 'fallen into a deep decline'; and Charles Dilke, at the age of seven, was handed over to his grandfather's charge, partly to solace the old widower's loneliness, partly to relieve the strain on his mother.
Wentworth Dilke's association in the Prince Consort's most cherished schemes had brought him on a footing of friendship with the Royal Family; and on July 25th, 1851, his wife wrote that the Queen had come over and talked to her in the Exhibition ground.
Dilke to all appearance was "very serious," and in disposition of mind ten years older than his fellows, while the young Northumbrian's whole preoccupation was to maintain and enlarge the fame of his college on the river.

 Sir Charles Dilke, 2nd Baronet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, 2nd Baronet (September 4, 1843 - January 26, 1911) was an English Liberal and reformist politician, son of Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, 1st Baronet, and husband of the progressive art critic Emilia Dilke.
Dilke, largely on the advice of his confidante Joseph Chamberlain and aware of his vulnerability over the affair with Virginia's mother, did not give evidence.
It further seems probable that someone other than Dilke was her lover and a number of conspiracy theories have been put forward over the years inplicating various men, including Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery and Chamberlain himself.

 An Historical Detective (The Nation, February 10, 1876)
He does not narrate the events of as much as one year; he does not depict a single character; he does not propound any historical view or theory, and he exhibits an absolute incapacity for appreciating the character either of men or of ages.
Dilke, nevertheless, was a genuine historical student, who did good service within a narrow field.
Dilke delighted in the detective's work of exposing imposture, and unfortunately his delight in this pursuit led him to confine his labors to topics in which the talents of a detective have full play.
