[edit] Disraeli did not support the Chartist movement

Emilieroberts 03:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC) Disraeli did not support the Chartist movement as suggested by the current wikipedia page for Sybil. This book describes the chartist movement and the struggles and impoverishment of the working classes but he ultimately suggests the movement is futile and doomed to failure. His vision for the future of Britain includes the political awakening of the landed gentry who will take responsibility for the well-being of the poor.

I don't know enough about wikipedia to indicate the article is in error, nor to do I consider myself enough of a historian to write a detailed description of the book.

See the end of chapter 14 in book 4 and chapter 15 of the same book. Eg. "The People are not strong; the People never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion". pp 276, Oxford World's Classics edition, 1998.
