Much scholarship on nineteenth-century English workers has been devoted to the radical reform politics that powerfully unsettled the social order in the centurys first decades. Comparatively neglected have been the impetuous patriotism, royalism, and xenophobic anti-
Catholicism that countless men and women demonstrated in the early Victorian period. This much-needed study of the eras 'conservatism from below' explores the role of religion in everyday culture and the Tories successful mobilization across class boundaries. Long
before they were able to vote, large swathes of the lower classes embraced Britains monarchical, religious, and legal institutions in the defense of traditional English culture.
