摘要

During the fifty-year period 1830–1880, the Nonconformist emphasis on the transformative role of personal endeavour found political expression in Liberalism. For Liberals and Nonconformists, self-advancement was a central aspect of a society free from unnecessary state intervention, energised by commercial entrepreneurship, and empowered by free-market forces. The Liberals could rely upon the Nonconformist electorate so long as the privileges of the established Anglican Church were kept to the minimum and preferably eliminated altogether. Through the Liberals, Nonconformists obtained access to the political platforms that could make their legitimate civic ambitions realisable.
