Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vivian Grey, Vol. 1 of 2 The Young Duke or Henrietta Temple. Even Dis raeli's satiric squibs, in the manner of Lucian and Swift, which seem to us among the most durable ornaments of light literature in the days of William IV., were read and were laughed at, but were not critically appraised. So, too, at the middle period of Disraeli's literary life, such books as Com'ngsby and Tancred were looked upon as amusing commentaries on the prog ress of a strenuous politician, not by any means, or by any responsible person, as possible classics of our language. And at his third period, the ruling criti cism of the hour was aghast at faults which now entertain us, and was blind to sterling merits which we are now ready to acknowledge. Shortly after his death, perhaps his most brilliant apologist was fain to admit that if Disraeli had been undistinguished as a speaker, his novels would have been as the flowers of the field, charming for the day which was passing over them, and then forgotten. It is only within the last decade that a conviction has been gaining ground that some of these books were in themselves durable, not because they were the work of a man who be came Prime Minister of England and made his sover eign Empress of India, but as much or as little as if they had been composed by a recluse in a hermitage. This impression has now become so general with en lightened critics that the danger seems to be that we should underrate certain excesses of rhetoric and the Corinthian mode, the errors of which used to be over emphasized, but should not, in a comparative survey of Victorian literature, be overlooked as serious draw backs to our perfect enjoyment of the high-spirited.
