188016453London: Longmans Green and Co. 1880 First edition of the last novel the author published before his death. Publisher's red cloth spine lettered in silver. Floral patterned endpapers. Three volumes octavo. Cloth slight soiled and gentle lean to spines. Spines slightly toned. Front hinge slightly cracked in Vol. II. Intermittent very minor foxing. Gathering R in Vol. III loose but holding. Small binder's ticket to rear pastedown of Vol. I. Overall a very good set Benjamin Disraeli's 1804-1881 novel Lothair 1870 was the first ever published by a prime minister and was a huge success. Endymion was composed primarily in the 1870s. Disraeli was paid £10000 by Longmans for the rights which at the time was believed to be the greatest sum then paid for a work of fiction. Endmyion is a romance and a survey of British politics between 1827 and 1855. It both recreates and emphasizes the importance of aristocratic – especially female – social influence on political fortunes. In the novel it is female influence that helps the conventional insipid courteous Endymion a Whig to rise to the premiership; he also manages to progress by not offending the insular prejudices of a commercial country. Endymion is named after the shepherd from Greek mythology which would have been familiar to eighteenth-century readers from the 1818 poem by John Keats 1795-1821 with that title.

FIRST EDITION OF BENJAMIN DISRAELI'S LAST NOVEL. A political romance set in the 19th century. "The novel is full of political lessons and conceits and its pictures of aristocratic circles with the semi-ministerial management of English affairs by the queens of fashionable society on behalf of their Endymions not only expose the romance of Disraeli's own life but also reveal the things behind the scenes which perhaps none so well could have done as this Jewish ex-premier of England in the literary winding up of his strange eventful life. It is this inner view of Disraeli's novel which gives its real significance."- Wikipedia Longman's, Green and Co. hardcover
