The novelist William Beckford appreciated the novel conveying the message to its author via a friend, 'Pray tell Disraeli that I have read, enjoyed, and admired his Infernal Marriage. The sly, dry humour of that most original composition is to me delightful.'

The artist, John Austen, a British book illustrator, was influenced by the Art Deco movement.
