Benjamin Disraeli 1st Earl of Beaconsfield 1804-1881 was a British statesman and Conservative 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 military action to expand it both of which were popular among British voters.

185919618London & New York: Routledge Warnes and Routledge 1859. A New Edition. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. <br /> <br /> Publisher's maroon blind-stamped cloth with gilt spine titles. 8vo; 7.75 inches tall; v 288 pages. Ex-Library with marking on the endpages none externally; The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with corner and spine tip wear. This historical novel set in the Middle East follows the rise and fall of the titular character David Alroy a false Jewish Messiah of the Twelfth Century and mixes elements of romance mysticism and Disraeli's fascination with Jewish history. <br /> <br /> While some critics view it as a fascinating exploration of Jewish identity and proto-Zionist themes others find it overly dramatic and stylistically flawed. Notably Disraeli himself noted the narrative's challenging prose adding to its polarizing reception. Adapted from wiki Routledge, Warnes, and Routledge unknown
