In the 1840s Disraeli wrote a trilogy of novels with political themes. "Coningsby" attacks the evils of the Whig Reform Bill of 1832 and castigates the leaderless conservatives for not responding. "Sybil; or, The Two Nations" (1845) reveals Peel's betrayal over the Corn Laws. These themes are expanded in "Tancred" (1847). With "Coningsby; or, The New Generation" (1844), Disraeli, in Blake's view, "infused the novel genre with political sensibility, espousing the belief that England's future as a world power depended not on the complacent old guard, but on youthful, idealistic politicians." "Sybil; or, The Two Nations" was less idealistic than "Coningsby"; the "two nations" of its sub-title referred to the huge economic and social gap between the privileged few and the deprived working classes. The last was "Tancred; or, The New Crusade" (1847), promoting the Church of England's role in reviving Britain's flagging spirituality. Disraeli often wrote about religion, for he was a strong promoter of the Church of England. He was troubled by the growth of elaborate rituals in the late 19th century, such as the use of incense and vestments, and heard warnings to the effect that the ritualists were going to turn control of the Church of England over to the Pope. He consequently was a strong supporter of the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 which allowed the archbishops to go to court to stop the ritualists.
