Abstract

Among the ‘Worktown Papers’ at the M-O A, there is a draft account of ‘Bolton Through the Ages’ which ends with the following note and quotation:

Disraeli spent some time observing round Worktown. In Sybil he wrote ‘“Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are ignorant of each others’ habits, thoughts and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners and are not governed by the same laws.”

“You speak of …” said Egremont, hesitatingly.

“THE RICH AND THE POOR.”’ (M-O 1938a)
