Venetia by Earl of Beaconsfield Benjamin Disraeli
QR code
"Venetia" by Earl of Beaconsfield Benjamin Disraeli is a novel published in 1837, the year he entered Parliament. This romantic fantasy reimagines the lives of Lord Byron and Percy Shelley under different names and circumstances. Critics found the portraits flawed, with confused portrayals that blend traits of both poets. Written while Disraeli faced mounting debts, the novel served largely as a commercial venture, reshaping Byron's image for Victorian readers. (This is an
