"Coningsby; Or, The New Generation" by Benjamin Disraeli is a political novel published in 1844. Set against England's turbulent 1830s following the Reform Bill, it follows Harry Coningsby, an orphaned grandson of a wealthy marquess who befriends the son of his grandfather's bitter enemy. As young Coningsby develops his own liberal views and falls in love with his friend's sister, he faces disinheritance and must forge his own path. The novel articulates Disraeli's political philosophy and his "Young England" vision for a transformed Tory party. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
