About the book

Benjamin Disraeli's Sybil, or The Two Nations is a political and social novel examining the enormous gulf between rich and poor in Victorian Britain. The story combines the romance between Charles Egremont and Sybil Gerard with a broader portrait of industrial poverty and political unrest. Disraeli depicts Britain as effectively divided into "two nations" whose living conditions and experiences are almost completely separate. Against the background of the Chartist movement and rapid industrialisation, the novel explores class, political responsibility, social inequality and the consequences of allowing wealth and poverty to exist side by side.
