Published in 1837, Henrietta Temple: A Love Story is one of Benjamin Disraeli’s early novels — written before his political career reached its heights, and reflecting his youthful Romantic enthusiasms. The novel is a celebration of passionate love, following the romantic entanglements of its hero Ferdinand Armine with a lyricism that contrasts with the more satirical political novels that made Disraeli famous.
For readers interested in the literary output of one of Britain’s most remarkable Prime Ministers, or in early Victorian romance, this novel is a rewarding discovery. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg for the complete text.
