A Small Series of Six Contemporary Manuscript Secretarial Copies of Interesting Letters Originally Authored by Benjamin Disraeli Circa 1844-1845. These letters may have been copied for Disraeli for future reference. The letter contents are very political and very much aimed at Sir Robert Peel his speeches and the press. I am not sure if they have been published. 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. He is the only British prime minister to have been of Jewish origin. He was also a novelist publishing works of fiction even as prime minister. Size of letters are 128mm x 85mm. Condition is good.

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

The first in a trilogy of novels Coningsby explores a range of political and social issues of early 19th-century England and works to unfold the ideological movement of a group of young aristocrats who were interested in social reform who grouped themselves under the 'Young England' movement. The relationship between the aristocracy and the industrial working class is told through the experiences of the novel's protagonist Harry Coningsby who becomes entangled in the political realm. The exploration of the need for social reform works to characterise the sentiment of the time at the distaste for the urban Industrial society and a want to return to a more idealised harmonious one. hardcover
