Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, William Powell Frith and Luke Fildes. Two nations, the rich and the poor, in the England of the Chartists - a young aristocrat discovers the factory towns and the girl who lives in them. Disraeli coined the phrase two nations here, and used the novel as the argument he would later govern by. This edition is bound with 56 plates of paintings by William Powell Frith, John Leech, Francis Grant and others, ranging from Claude Duval to scenes from Molière.
