Summary: "The Young Duke" by Benjamin Disraeli is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around George Augustus Frederick, the Duke of St. James, who enters adulthood as one of the wealthiest young men in England, navigating the intricate intrigues of aristocratic society. The novel explores themes of privilege, societal expectations, and the complexities of relationships as the young duke interacts with his relatives and experiences various romantic interests. At the start of the book, the Duke of St. James is introduced as he comes of age, having amassed a considerable fortune and social status following the death of his father. His guardianship is passed to Mr. Dacre, a Catholic gentleman, which sparks intrigue and resentment among the more politically aligned relatives, particularly the Earl of Fitz-pompey. As the young duke transitions through a privileged yet tumultuous upbringing spent mainly at Castle Dacre and school, he becomes increasingly entangled with the fitz-pompey family, leading to a mix of affection and moving conspiracies. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale of character development, societal machinations, and early encounters with love, hinting at the challenges the duke will face as he endeavors to navigate his new world.
