Description
This book examines the role and significance of Roman Catholics and Roman Catholic issues in English politics in the second half of the 19th century. The author investigates how Catholics saw themselves as a political body, and examines the ways in which they were accommodated by the major political parties. The careers of notable Catholics are clarified, as are the responses of political leaders such as Gladstone, Disraeli and Salisbury to those careers. It is argued that Catholics consistently overestimated their own political importance.
