December 2004 marked the bicentenary of Benjamin Disraeli's birth.
The Novel as Political Discourse examines Disraeli's novels in
order to construct a portrait of the man, his context and enduring
reputation. Disraeli's literary career ran from 1826 to 1880.
Within this time he became an M.P., Leader of the Opposition,
Chancellor and Prime Minister. His novels can be read as the
breeding ground for his ideas, gestated away from the pressure
cooker of Parliament. From his first novel, Vivian Grey, about the
formation of a new political party, through to the overtly
political Young England' trilogy (named after a faction of the
Conservative Party with which Disraeli was aligned) and beyond,
Disraeli's novels expose the development of his thinking while also
reflecting the anxieties of his age. This book will appeal to those
fascinated by Disraeli and Conservatism and anyone interested in
the development of Britain in the Victorian era. The book enhances
our understanding of this charismatic figure who continues to cast
a formidable shadow across the nation's politics and culture.
