Placing this conflict within the dense mosaic of religious, social, and economic factors he delineates sectarianism's crucial role in politics and class strife. He also assesses the activities of Churchmen (Anglicans), Nonconformists, Roman Catholics, and members of the new sects. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author relates his findings to the operations of sectarianism in other parts of the country and takes into account some of the most recent work in urban, religious, social, and political history. This volume has important implications for the understanding not only of cotton towns, but of Victorian society, religion, and politics as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul T.
