About this book
"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.
