Counter-Enlightenment works of
Joseph de Maistre. Maistre argued for the restoration of hereditary
monarchy, which he regarded as a
divinely sanctioned institution, and for the indirect authority of the
Pope over temporal matters. He also defended the principle of
hierarchical authority, which the Revolution sought to destroy. Maistre published in 1819 his masterpiece

schismatic Churches.

Burke was a
Whig, while the term
Tory is given to the later Conservative Party. One
Australian scholar argues, "For Edmund Burke and Australians of a like mind, the essence of conservatism lies not in a body of theory, but in the disposition to maintain those institutions seen as central to the beliefs and practices of society."
[21]The old established form of English, and after the
Act of Union, British conservatism, was the Tory Party.

The new coalition of traditional landowners and sympathetic industrialists constituted the new
Conservative Party.
Benjamin Disraeli gave the new party a political ideology. As a young man, he was influenced by the
romantic movement and
medievalism, and developed a devastating critique of industrialism. In his novels, he outlined an England divided into two nations, each living in perfect ignorance of each other. He foresaw, like
Karl Marx, the phenomenon of an alienated industrial proletariat.
