Summary: "Coningsby; Or, The New Generation" by Benjamin Disraeli is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the political landscape of early Victorian England through the eyes of its central character, Edward Coningsby, as he navigates issues related to class, politics, and identity within the aristocracy. The story delves into themes of political revival, social responsibility, and the transformative power of youth. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Coningsby, a young boy waiting in a house in St. James's Square, filled with a sense of restlessness and curiosity. As he interacts with Mr. Rigby, a member of the aristocracy with questionable character, the political tensions of the time begin to emerge, foreshadowing the changes that will shape their world. The story sets up Coningsby’s background as the grandson of a wealthy marquess, and it hints at the political upheaval brewing in society. The early chapters establish the characters and their connections while laying the groundwork for Coningsby's journey toward understanding his place in a tumultuous political environment.
