(1819–75). Vicar of Eversley (Hants), social reformer, novelist, and ‘muscular Christian’. Influenced by F. D. Maurice and Thomas Carlyle , Kingsley became a leading spirit in the Christian socialist movement of 1848–54, and under the pseudonym ‘Parson Lot’ contributed to Politics for the People (1848) and The Christian Socialist (1850–1).
