Linking together two of the most significant developments of the Romantic period, this study shows how Romantic nationalism in Britain developed irony's potential as a powerful source of civic cohesion. Britain's politics of deference, its traditionalism, and its celebration of productivity all became occasions for the development of loyalist irony by non-English conservatives.
