Venetia is a minor novel by Benjamin Disraeli, published in 1837, the year he was first elected to the House of Commons. The novel is a lightweight romantic fantasy. A contemporary reviewer, writing in an 1854 issue of the New Monthly Review, declared that he “liked it least of all Disraeli’s works.” Michael Flavin’s Benjamin Disraeli: The Novel as a Political Discourse suggests that Venetia was a largely commercial endeavour for Disraeli, who was deeply in debt at the time that he wrote it.
