Tancred

By Benjamin Disraeli

Disraeli wrote many novels with no didactic purpose others were certainly inspired, if not in every detail, by certain fundamental ideas in politics and philosophy. It is these latter with which we are concerned, and which we desire to interpret.

Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli was a British statesman and politician who twice served as prime minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or “Tory democracy”. He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the British Empire, and used military action to expand it, both of which were popular among British voters. Disraeli was also a novelist, publishing works of fiction even as prime minister.
