Product Description

Product Description
Examines the major aspects of Disraeli's career and his legacy, asking how far his actions were governed by principles and how far by expediency.

From the Back Cover
Disraeli is a key figure for students of nineteenth-century Britain. He is indelibly identified with the unmaking of Peel's version of the Conservative Party, and with the re-creation of a durable and outstandingly successful new party which retained the loyalty of the squires and the shires while reaching out to newer forms of property ownership and cultivating the attachment of a significant proportion of the urban working class.
This pamphlet examines the major aspects of Disraeli's career and his legacy, asking how far his actions and policies were governed by principles and how far by expediency. It also enquires how far Disraeli set his own agenda and how far he was a rider of currents out of his control. Finally, it takes a careful look at his political, institutional and ideological legacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Short Introduction to Disraeli?, 21 Jul 2008
By Dr. N. A. Hall "Nigel Hall" (Liverpool, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This short work might possibly be the best short introduction to the life and political work of the great nineteenth century statesman Benjamin Disraeli.

It fell to Disraeli to lead the Conservative/Tory Party back from the political wilderness following Sir Robert Peel. Recently, attempts have been made to rehabilitate the reputation of the Early of Derby, who succeeded Peel as party leader. However, it was to 'Dizzy' that the revival of the party was chiefly due, eventually becoming Prime Minister and leaving the legacy of so-called 'One Nation' Conservatism.

The virue of Walton's book is that it is short, readable and yet scholarly. Walton outlines the debates concerning Disraeli and his policies and usefully discusses the work of key Disraelian historians.

An excellent book for AS/A2/undergraduate studies and the general reader with an interest in Victorian history and politics.
