Benjamin Disraeli Letters

'The editing is splendid...As it continues, this important project will stimulate us to look at the familiar in new ways.' - Angus Hopkins - The Parliamentary History Yearbook 'If you have not read the first three volumes of the Disraeli letters, then you have a treat in store...Volume IV, like the others, is informatively introduced and meticulously edited...The detailed footnotes...are often as illuminating as the letters. The erudition never becomes heavy or obfuscating, but the accumulated information is a veritable who's who and where's where for London life in the 1840s.' - Ann P. Robson - Newsletter of the Victorian Studies Association

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) was one of the most important figures in nineteenth-century Europe, spending three decades in British government and twice serving as prime minister, as well as being a well-known literary figure. A convert to Anglicanism, he was Britain's first and thus far only Prime Minister of Jewish heritage. Mary S.
