The book's publication in 1845 created a sensation, for its immediacy and readability brought the plight of the working classes sharply to the attention of the reading public. The \"two nations\" of the alternative title are the rich and poor, so disparate in their opportunities and living conditions, and so hostile to each other, that they seem almost to belong to different countries. The gulf between them is given a poignant focus by the central romantic plot concerning the love of Charles Egremont, a member of the landlord class, for Sybil, the poor daughter of a militant Chartist leader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicholas Shrimpton\u003c\/strong\u003e is the editor of Trollope's \u003cem\u003eThe Prime Minister\u003c\/em\u003e (2011) and \u003cem\u003eThe Warden\u003c\/em\u003e (2014) for Oxford World's Classics.
