The Young Duke (Esprios Classics)

Om The Young Duke (Esprios Classics)

The Young Duke - a moral tale though gay is the third novel written by Benjamin Disraeli who would later become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Despite its moderate success, Disraeli came to dislike the novel which was a hindrance to his political career. Disraeli started writing The Young Duke in late 1829, completing it in March 1830, as a means to finance his upcoming Grand Tour. "The Young Duke" contains content critical of features of its author''s future lifestyle, thus hindering Disraeli''s subsequent political career. Ironically one of these was the concept of a Grand Tour, which in Disraeli''s case was to be financed by the proceeds from the book. Disraeli is also critical of aristocratic dinner parties and the people who attend them.
