Illustrated. OCLC 1440480.**British AUTHOR Ralph Henry Nevill (1865-1930) wrote some 30 works. He is said to be, "by family tradition," the lovechild of Victorian British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and Lady Dorothy "Dolly" Walpole Nevill ( W. Trotter, ODNB)(S. Weintraub, "Disraeli" 1993, pp. 427-30.) Disraeli was in his early forties, and Lady Dorothy a teenager, when they first met, but their friendship would span decades, and he was a regular fixture at her salons in Mayfair in later years, to which she also invited artists, writers, including Thomas Hardy, and a wide assortment of scientists, soldiers and even liberal politicians, if they gardened. She married a cousin, Reginald Henry Nevill, after "being caught in the summerhouse" with a colleague of Disraeli's. The man refused to marry her, despite ruining her reputation with a ten-day elopement to Brighton. Lady Nevill bravely lived down theses and other scandals (father's gambling). It is really worth noting, however, that Lady Nevill accomplished a number of remarkable achievements. She was the lead horticulturist (with more than 30 gardeners) at the family estate of Dangstein in Sussex. There, a collection of 30 glass houses nurtured what has been described as one of the most extraordinary horticultural collections in private hands in the United Kingdom at the time. (Dr. David Marsh, The Gardens Trust, 2016.) The collections of rare plants brought the attention of Darwin, as well as Thomas and Edward Hooker of Kew Gardens fame. Lady Dorothy was also a founding member of the woman's branch of the conservative Primrose League, (named after B. Disraeli's favorite flower.) The Tory political action group of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was formed to counteract the growing trades union movement. Ralph Nevill also assisted his mother in writing several volumes of memoirs. Ralph Nevill's leaning-in to the scandalous in the above volumes of social history would seem to be, perhaps, an attempt to come to grips with both the advantages and disadvantages of his own patrimony, amplified by a contemporary taste for themes of the Decadent in art and literature beginning in the 1850's and 60's as seen in the works of Gaultier, Beardsley, the Symbolists and others. **PROVENANCE: Each volume bears the red gilt leather book label of W.A. Foyle founder of Britain's W.A.Foyle Bookshops and once housed at his converted monastery home of Beeleigh Abbey.
