Robert Southey's preoccupation with the presumed danger of
admitting Catholics to Parliament, following the Irish Act of
Union, has always been an embarrassment to his admirers. Stuart
Andrews, in "Robert Southey," ""argues that the Poet Laureate's
denunciation of global Catholicism is essential to understanding
his life, works, and times. On this issue Southey was absolutely
consistent--from his first visit to Lisbon in 1795 to his
"Colloquies" published in 1829. Echoes of the debate have faded,
but Southey's partisan rhetoric reflects its intensity and reveals
much about the religious culture and concern for English identity
in this stormy period
