Nigel's Dearest Wis It was the last novel Disraeli published before his death. Endymion is a romance although Disraeli took the unusual step of setting it between 1819 and 1859. This meant that the hero of the novel-Endymion Ferrars-had to be a Whig rather than a Tory. The time period that Disraeli chose was dominated by the Whig party; there would have been little opportunity for a young rising Tory. Given that it seems likely that Disraeli chose the time period so he could dwell for a final time in the world in which he grew up and began his ascent. William Pitt Ferrars a rising Tory politician with cabinet ambitions is disappointed of his hopes by the fall of the Tory ministry of the Duke of Wellington in 1832 and his party's overwhelming defeat in that year's parliamentary election. He retires from his opulent house in Hill Street London to the modest country estate of Hurstley; his failure to reenter the government in Sir Robert Peel's brief ministry in 1835 and his inability to secure a parliamentary seat in the subsequent elections leads his wife to die of sorrow and disillusionment and ultimately to his own suicide.He leaves behind him two adolescent children Endymion and Myra who are determined to redeem their father's legacy. The title character's name is a reference to the shepherd Endymion of Greek mythology familiar in 19th-century culture as the title of an 1818 John Keats poem among other references. ; Endymion is Disraeli in his youth. Zenobia a queen of fashion is based on his Lady Blessington with a combination of some other great lady. She was Benjamin Disraeli's first great patroness. 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 ; Sir Edmund William Gosse was an English poet author and critic. He was strictly brought up in a small Protestant sect the Plymouth Brethren but broke away sharply from that faith. His account of his childhood in the book Father and Son has been described as the first psychological biography. His friendship with the sculptor Hamo Thornycroft inspired a successful career as a historian of late-Victorian sculpture. His translations of Henrik Ibsen helped to promote that playwright in England and he encouraged the careers of Sarojini Naidu Toru Dutt W. B. Yeats and James Joyce. He also lectured in English literature at Cambridge University. FINE <br/> <br/> The Cambridge Society, New York, [M. Walter Dunne], [1905] hardcover

Philip Guedalla 12 March 1889 16 December 1944 was an English barrister and a popular historical and travel writer and biographer. His wit and epigrams are well-known one example being "Even reviewers read a Preface" another being "History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other." He also was the originator of a now-common theory on Henry James writing that "The work of Henry James has always seemed divisible by a simple dynastic arrangement into three reigns: James I James II and the Old Pretender". Wikipedia Benjamin Disraeli 1st Earl of Beaconsfield 21 December 1804 19 April 1881 was a British politician and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the glory and power of the British Empire. He is the only British Prime Minister of Jewish birth. Disraeli was born in Bloomsbury then part of Middlesex. His father left Judaism after a dispute at his synagogue; young Benjamin became an Anglican at the age of 12. After several unsuccessful attempts Disraeli entered the House of Commons in 1837. In 1846 the Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel split the party over his proposal to repeal the Corn Laws which involved ending the tariff on imported grain. Disraeli clashed with Peel in the Commons. Disraeli became a major figure in the party. When Lord Derby the party leader thrice formed governments in the 1850s and 1860s Disraeli served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons. He also forged a bitter rivalry with Gladstone of the Liberal Party. Upon Derby's retirement in 1868 Disraeli became Prime Minister briefly before losing that year's election. He returned to opposition before leading the party to a majority in the 1874 election. He maintained a close friendship with Queen Victoria who in 1876 created him Earl of Beaconsfield. Disraeli's second term was dominated by the Eastern Questionthe slow decay of the Ottoman Empire and the desire of other European powers such as Russia to gain at its expense. Disraeli arranged for the British to purchase a major interest in the Suez Canal Company in Ottoman-controlled Egypt. In 1878 faced with Russian victories against the Ottomans he worked at the Congress of Berlin to obtain peace in the Balkans at terms favourable to Britain and unfavourable to Russia its longstanding enemy. This diplomatic victory over Russia established Disraeli as one of Europe's leading statesmen. World events thereafter moved against the Conservatives. Controversial wars in Afghanistan and South Africa undermined his public support. He angered British farmers by refusing to reinstitute the Corn Laws in response to poor harvests and cheap imported grain. With Gladstone conducting a massive speaking campaign his Liberals bested Disraeli's Conservatives in the 1880 election. In his final months Disraeli led the Conservatives in opposition. He had throughout his career written novels beginning in 1826 and he published his last completed novel Endymion shortly before he died at the age of 76. Wikipedia hardcover
