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. Book. …

Zustand: Very good. First edition of this collection celebrating the revival of the sonnet, tracing its history from Spenser to Shakespeare and Milton, through contemporaries Charlotte Smith, Mary Robinson, and a young Leigh Hunt. The English sonnet fell out of fashion in the early 18th century, only to come roaring back to popularity with the publication of Charlotte Smith's ELEGIAC SONNETS in 1784. But this volume provides a much wider and more nuanced picture of the development of the English sonnet, including Smith's predecessor Thomas Edwards, and her contemporaries Anna Seward (whom Henderson especially likes), William Lisle Bowles, Helen Maria Williams, and Mary Robinson. Henderson's introduction contextualizes the wide range of sonnets included, from the amatory (Robinson) to the elegiac (Smith). This compendium established the state of playing field for the form in the Romantic era, and it was a favorite form of Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Wordsworth. Coleridge wrote a pamphlet celebrating the form in 1796, and the first poem Wordsworth published was "Sonnet on Seeing Miss Helen Maria Williams Weep" in 1787, an homage to Williams and Charlotte Smith both. A notable Romantic-era collection, unusual in so widely acknowledging the debts of English poetry to women writers. Contemporary half roan, marbled paper boards, gilt-ruled and -lettered spine. Red speckled edges. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and two further full-page engravings by T.W. Tomkins after P. Henderson. xl, 192 pages. Some pencil notes to endpapers. Binding rubbed at extremities, some foxing (largely marginal) to first few gatherings. …
