Book Overview

Anti-Coningsby V1-2: Or The New Generation Grown Old is a two-volume novel written by Benjamin Disraeli and published in 1844. The book is a satirical critique of the political and social changes that occurred in England during the 19th century. The title refers to Disraeli's earlier novel, Coningsby, which was a romanticized portrayal of the rise of the conservative party. In Anti-Coningsby, Disraeli takes a more critical stance towards the political establishment and the aristocracy. The novel follows the story of a young man named Sidonia, who represents the new generation of wealthy and influential individuals in England. Through Sidonia's experiences, Disraeli explores the themes of power, corruption, and the decline of traditional values. The book is a biting commentary on the changing social and political landscape of England during the Victorian era. Disraeli's wit and satire make Anti-Coningsby a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of England and the development of modern politics.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
