Tolerationist argument throughout this period could extend from extreme statements of the universal right to liberty of conscience to much more restrictive and pragmatic arguments for the toleration merely of certain forms of belief and practice. Thus, liberty of conscience emerges alongside certain other secular forms of social control, and the presumption of such freedom, according to Canuel, underpins the distinctively modern form of the nineteenth-century British nation-state.

His argument does however tend to rely upon some overly subtle textual analysis, which abandons the more localized contexts of rhetoric and opinion in favour of sometimes tendentious interpretative nuance.

On Wordsworth, however, Canuel offers a much more successful challenge to the commonly-expressed view of the later poetry as a falling-off from imaginative power into dogmatic orthodoxy. This is difficult territory: This formulation obviously and I think deliberately returns us to a relatively familiar set of critical preoccupations. But its application to the politics of religion in this period demands a greater sensitivity to the peculiarly intransigent aspects of intolerance and recusancy, of righteousness and persecution.
