| Summary | Annotation <p>Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81) was one of the most important figures in nineteenth-century Europe, spending three decades in British government and twice serving as prime minister. This volume collects nearly a thousand of Disraeli's letters from a tumultuous period in European history - years that witnessed the Italian revolution, the Polish revolt against Russia, anxiety about Napoleon III's intentions in Europe, and the American Civil War.</p><p>More than four hundred previously unpublished letters provide revealing insights into Disraeli's thoughts on political and social issues; they also illuminate the inner workings of the Conservative party and his style of leadership. This eighth volume of the <em>Letters of Benjamin Disraeli</em>also includes recently recovered letters from years covered by previous volumes, including four to Lionel de Rothschild that reveal a hitherto unknown collaboration between Rothschild, Disraeli, and Lord George Bentinck on an anonymous pamphlet that promoted Jewish political rights. Fully annotated, this volume is a welcome addition to the series.</p> |
