Product Information

The best-known quotes and reflections of Benjamin Disraeli, British statesman and twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Disraeli was one of the least orthodox of Prime Ministers. He was an adventurer who fought his way to 'the top of the greasy pole' in a blaze of controversy, and became Queen Victoria's favourite statesman. He was a novelist and a wit as well as politician. He was a brilliant orator. Like Byron he was both a romantic and a cynic. His aphorisms have become part of the discourse of political life. This collection is based on his novels, letters and speeches. He was never dull, but he was fundamentally serious behind the firework display, and he had a lasting influence on the course of party history. AUTHOR: Lord Blake (editor) was the leading historian of the 19th- and 20th-century Conservative Party, and the author of the definitive biography of Disraeli. SALES POINTS: . Seen by some of the founder of 'one-nation' conservatism, Disraeli is today one of the most co-opted political figures of history . For those seeking clarity on Disraeli's views, this collection will confound and surprise
