Summary "Henrietta Temple: A Love Story" by Benjamin Disraeli is a historical romance novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative primarily revolves around the aristocratic Armine family, exploring themes of lineage, ambition, and unreciprocated love through the lives of its characters, particularly Sir Ratcliffe Armine and his son Ferdinand. This novel delves into the complexities of noble heritage and the societal expectations that ensue. The opening of the story provides a rich historical backdrop, detailing the Armine family's illustrious yet tumultuous history, which begins with their arrival in England and continues through their various allegiances and misfortunes. As the tale unfolds, we are introduced to the most recent generation, including Sir Ferdinand Armine, who is portrayed as a youthful man of great ambition and flair, as well as his son, the melancholic Sir Ratcliffe Armine. With an overbearing pride related to their lineage, the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of the characters' struggles, aspirations, and relationships against the backdrop of rising social and political upheaval in Europe.
