Sybil, or The Two Nations is an 1845 novel by Benjamin Disraeli. Published in the same year as Friedrich Engelss The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844, Sybil traces the plight of the working classes of England. Disraeli was interested in dealing with the horrific conditions in which the majority of Englands working classes lived - or, what is generally called the Condition of England question.The book is a roman à thèse, or a novel with a thesis - which was meant to create a furor over the squalor that was plaguing Englands working class cities.Disraelis novel was made into a silent film called Sybil in 1921, starring Evelyn Brent and Cowley Wright.Disraelis interest in this subject stemmed from his interest in the Chartist movement, a working-class political reformist movement that sought universal male suffrage and other parliamentary reforms. (Thomas Carlyle sums up the movement in his 1839 book Chartism.[1]) Chartism failed as a parliamentary movement (three petitions to Parliament were rejected); however, five of the Six Points of Chartism would become a reality within a century of the groups formation.Chartism demanded:Universal suffrage for menSecret ballotRemoval of property requirements for ParliamentSalaries for Members of Parliament (MPs)Equal electoral districtsAnnually elected ParliamentWorlds Classics Deluxe EditionThis book and other Worlds Classics Deluxe Edition are frequently included among the great literature of the 20th century, including the Modern Library 100 Best Novels, The Observers, BBCs and The Telegraphs 100 Greatest Novels of All Time, and The Guardians 1000 novels everyone must read.iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
