861 - London - Routledge Warne and Routledge 1861 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Two novels from great nineteenth century writers bound into one. Disraeli turned towards literature after his financial disaster motivated in part by a desperate need for money and brought out his first novel Vivian Grey in 1826. The Young Duke was his second novel first published in 1831. Disraeli's writing is generally interesting and his books teem with striking thoughts shrewd maxims and brilliant phrases which stick in the memory; on the other hand he is often artificial extravagant and turgid. Critic William Kuhn argued that much of his fiction can be read as the memoirs he never wrote revealing the inner life of a politician for whom the norms of Victorian public life appeared to represent a social straitjacket particularly with regard to his allegedly ambiguous sexuality. James Grant 18221887 was a Scottish author. Grant was born in Edinburgh Scotland and was a distant relation of Sir Walter Scott. He was a prolific author. Many of his 56 novels are about important characters and events in Scottish history. In 1853 he founded the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights. Condition: In a half crushed morocco binding. Externally sound though somewhat rubbed. The hinges are strained but holding firm. Internally firmly bound bright and clean throughout. There is an ink signature to the front advertisement and another to the title of Philip Rollo. Overall: VERY GOOD. 861 - London - Routledge, Warne and Routledge hardcover
