''Coningsby, or The New Generation'' is an English political novel by Benjamin Disraeli, published in 1844. Background ''Coningsby'' (1844 First Edition) was the first of a trilogy of novels (together with '' Sybil'' and ''Tancred'') which marked a departure from Disraeli's silver-fork novels of the 1830s and which are his most famous. The book is set against a background of the real political events of the 1830s in England that followed the enactment of the Reform Bill of 1832. In describing these events Disraeli sets out his own beliefs including his opposition to Robert Peel, his dislikes of both the British Whig Party and the ideals of Utilitarianism, and the need for social justice in a newly industrialized society. He portrays the self-serving politician in the character of Rigby (based on John Wilson Croker) and the malicious party insiders in the characters of Taper and Tadpole. In ''Coningsby'' Disraeli articulates a "Tory interpretation" of history to combat the "ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pontus And Sidonia
''Pontus and Sidonia'' (French: ''Ponthus et la belle Sidonie'' or just ''Ponthus et Sidoine'') is a medieval prose romance, originally composed in French in ca. 1400, possibly by Geoffroy IV de la Tour Landry (d. 1391) or by another member of the La Tour family. It is about Pontus, the son of the king of Galicia, who falls in love with Sidonia, daughter of the king of Brittany. The text is associated with the lords of La Tour because it derives the ancestors of that family, whose ancestral possessions were in Brittany, from members of the train of prince Pontus. The story is based on an earlier work, the Anglo-Norman chanson de geste ''Horn et Rimenhild'' (ca. 1180). Several German translations were made during the 15th century (viz., in the period corresponding to the final phase of Middle High German or the formative phase of Early New High German). There is a surviving version in Alemannic German, possibly written in the Old Swiss Confederacy, dated to between 1440 and 1460, ...
