摘要

In Victorian England, the Catholic heritage that had weathered persecution and marginalisation enjoyed a notable re-flourishing, though it was still under the pressures of opposition and prejudice as it looked to secure its place in the national tradition. Anti-Catholic feeling continued to find expression in theological disputes and the “intricate political issues of loyalty to the Crown and potential papal intervention in British affairs” that had been stirred up on the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829 (Yates, 121).
