| Summary: | This book aims to cast fresh light on the nineteenth-century's cultural landscape by tracing the changing contours and phases of the relationship between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. The subtleties and intricate manoeuvres of this ritualistic dance have too often been obscured by the tendency of Victorian religious historians to chop the period into conveniently-sized sections. Since these sections have usually been carved out of a larger map drawn up according to Protestant grid references, they have a tendency to reinforce the significance of perceived Catholic threats and Protestant triumphs, rather than longer threads of continuity or the ebb and flow of liberal and conservative views within each side and across the divide. |
