Bread and Circuses is a novel by Helen Parry Eden, first published in 1914. The book is set in the early 20th century and revolves around the lives of two sisters, Mary and Emily, who come from a wealthy family. Mary is a socialite who enjoys the luxuries of life, while Emily is more introspective and concerned with the world around her.As the story progresses, the sisters become involved in the suffragette movement and the fight for women's rights. They also become embroiled in a love triangle with a young man named Hugh, who is torn between his love for Mary and his admiration for Emily's intelligence and passion.Throughout the book, Eden explores themes of class, gender, and politics, as well as the tension between tradition and progress. The title, Bread and Circuses, refers to the ancient Roman practice of providing food and entertainment to distract the masses from their problems, a metaphor for the way in which the upper classes in the novel seek to maintain their power and privilege.Overall, Bread and Circuses is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the social and political landscape of early 20th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
