Henrietta Temple
Benjamin Disraeli, better remembered as a British prime minister, wrote this passionate love story before politics fully claimed him, publishing it in 1837. Ferdinand Armine, heir to a proud but ruined Catholic family, agrees to marry his wealthy cousin Katherine to clear the estate’s debts. Then he meets Henrietta Temple and falls headlong in love, throwing his careful arrangement into turmoil. What follows is a study of divided loyalty, financial desperation, and the sway of feeling over calculation, drawn in part from Disraeli’s own romantic entanglements. The early chapters brim with the intensity of first love, while the later ones turn on honor, debt, and the slim hope of reconciliation. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available.
