    • Abstract:
      Through an analysis of Conservative British politician Benjamin Disraeli's Lothair (1870) and Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi's The Rule of the Monk (1870), this article highlights the connections between anti-Catholic literature and anti-Catholic politics in Victorian Britain and reveals how a diverse set of transnational actors simultaneously shaped and utilized British anti-Catholic discourses. It argues that not only did anti-Catholicism motivate British support for the Risorgimento, but the actors and events of the Risorgimento and the Papal response to it informed and reinforced popular anti-Catholic beliefs.
