A Year at Hartlebury is an 1834 novel co-authored by the British writer and future Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and his sister Sarah Disraeli. Hawkins p.xxiii Part of the silver fork tradition of novels, it was released in two volumes under a pseudonym by the London publishing house Saunders and Otley. It was only in 1979 that the Disraeli siblings were formally identified as the author, and it bears strong similarities to Benjamin's views when he contested the 1832 general election for Wycombe.O'Kell p.72 The full title is A Year at Hartlebury, Or, The Election. It doesn't take its name from the village Hartlebury in Worcestershire, but from a fictional location Hartlebury Manor loosely inspired by Bradenham Manor in Buckinghamshire where he grew up.
