Summary "Lothair" by Benjamin Disraeli is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story opens with the introduction of characters within the affluent and distinguished setting of the Brentham estate, where the duchess fondly reminisces about a boy named Lothair, the orphaned son of her deceased friend. The narrative hints at the complexities surrounding Lothair's upbringing and the influence of his guardians on his character and education, setting the stage for intertwining personal dynamics and societal issues that will unfold throughout the plot. The opening of the book features lively interactions among members of the ducal family and their visitors, particularly focusing on Lothair's background as a posthumous child raised under strict guardianship. Initially depicted as shy and awkward, Lothair gradually forms connections with the family, notably with Lady Corisande, suggesting a deepening emotional theme that will likely play a significant role in his development. The mix of earnest dialogues and character observations introduces readers to the various societal dynamics and expectations of the period, whilst foreshadowing the tensions that Lothair will face as he navigates his identity within these circumstances.
