Sybil

Sybil, or The Two Nations is an 1845 novel by Benjamin Disraeli. Published in the same year as Friedrich Engels's 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 England's working classes lived — or, what is generally called the Condition of England question.Benjamin Disraeli, born on December 21, 1804, and died on April 19, 1881, was a British statesman, writer, and Conservative politician who served twice as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He is one of the most prominent political figures in Victorian-era Britain. Disraeli wrote novels throughout his career, beginning in 1826, and published his last completed novel, Endymion, shortly before he died at the age of 76.
