Author: The Right Honorable B. Disraeli
Title: The Novels and Tales of the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P.
Description: London, Frederick Warne and Co. c1850. Leather. A smart set of this collection of novels and shorter works from British statesman, Conservative politician and writer Benjamin Disraeli. Eleven volumes bound in six. A collection of the novels and tales of Benjamin Disraeli, a British statesman, Conservative politician and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Disraeli is unique among Victorian novelists in that, outside of specialists in Victorian literature, he is remembered much more for his political life than his career as a novelist. This set contains: Vivian Grey, the author's first novel, originally published anonymously, and Ixion, a contemporary revision of the myth of Ixion. The Young Duke, following the life of George Augustus Frederick, an infant who succeeds to the wealthy dukedom of St James on the death of his father, and Coningsby, the first of the Young England trilogy. Alroy, a fictionalised account of the life of David Alroy, a Jewish Messiah claimant, and Sybil, the second of the Young England trilogy. Henrietta Temple, following young Ferdinand Armine, the scion of an aristocratic Catholic family who, while betrothed to his cousin Katherine, meets and falls in love with another young woman, and Tancred, the third of the Young England trilogy. Venetia, a lightweight romantic fantasy, and Contarini Fleming, the most autobiographical of Disraeli's novels, following Contarini Fleming who decides to run away to Venice. Lothair, the first novel written after Disraeli's first term as Prime Minister, dealing with the comparative merits of the Catholic and Anglican churches as heirs of Judaism. Bound in half calf with cloth covered boards. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities and fading to the spine. The odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Minor age toning to the endpapers with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Bookseller's blind stamp to the front endpaper. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
