Meanings
-
(UK, historical) A member of Young England, a group of neofeudalist 19th-century Tories.
In a related but more obviously nostalgic way the Young Englanders looked back to an earlier England: Disraeli lamented in his 1845 novel Sybil, or the Two Nations, that “there is no community in England” and proposed the medievalising of the aristocracy as a solution.
