The Contrast is an 1832 novel by the British writer and politician Lord Normanby, originally published in three volumes.[1][2] It was his third novel following Matilda (1825) and Yes and No (1828), all three of which were part of the developing silver fork genre focused on the fashionable aristocracy and upper classes of the late Regency period. It was written at the time of the Reform Act and examines the mixing of relationships across classes.
