Synopsis
Known as a dandy, a novelist, a brilliant debater and England's first and only Jewish prime minister, Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield) is best remembered for bringing India and the Suez Canal under control of the crown.
One of his earlier novels, Henrietta Temple is an account of Disraeli's love affair with Henrietta Sykes and remains the best account still available of the relationship, as his letters to Henrietta have been destroyed.
Henrietta Temple is one of Disraeli's major works. In characteristically witty and elegant style, Disraeli tells the story of the troubled romance of Ferdinand Armine, a noble but debt-prone and headstrong youth, and Henrietta Temple, beautiful but penniless.
Henrietta Temple is an immensely readable novel of romantic intrigue; it is also an affectionately wry picture of Victorian manners and morals.

About the Author
Benjamin Disraeli is perhaps the best known and certainly the most colorful of Britain's Prime Ministers during the long reign of Queen Victoria. He was also a prolific writer. His novelistic trilogy: Sybil, Coningsby, and Tancred and later works: Lothair and Endymion would alone earn him a special place in English life and literature, but it is his career as the leading Conservative of the century and writings and speeches on events of the age that earn him a special place in the pantheon of parliamentary politics.
