This came on the heels of the Second Reform Act of 1867 which expanded the right to vote beyond the landed classes and was written in the character of, and signed by, Felix Holt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet during the time of the Reform Act of 1832, the story centers on an election contested by Harold Transome, a local landowner, in the \"Radical cause\" (\"Radical\" because Transome's version of \"radicalism\" isn't radical at all, but rather an application of the term to his politically stagnate lifestyle), contrary to his family's Tory traditions. Contrasting with the opportunism of Transome is the sincere, but opinionated, Radical Felix Holt. A subplot concerns the stepdaughter of a Dissenting minister who is the true heir to the Transome estate, but who is unaware of the fact. She becomes the object of the affections of both Harold Transome and Felix Holt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Eliot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161895699X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781618956996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bibliotech Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"George Eliot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519006585087,"sku":"9781618956996","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc07ac0d-c742-4ed3-b4fd-8db0f394515f.jpg?v=1778736472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/felix-holt-the-radical-george-eliot-9781618956996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
