Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Benjamin Disraeli great quotes, aphorisms, thoughts, words of wisdom and ideas of pragmatic literary political value very useful to understand the true spirit of the Victorian Age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield (21 December 1804 \u2013 19 April 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 glory and power of the British Empire. He is the only British prime minister to have been of Jewish birth. He was also a novelist, publishing works of fiction even as prime minister.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Gladstone was strong on domestic policy and reform, he was perceived as weaker in foreign policy. Disraeli was strong precisely where Gladstone was weak; when the latter lost the 1885 election, he did so because Disraeli had succeeded in implanting the idea that imperial power was a measure of national greatness. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was a strong supporter of Britain\u2019s imperial role and during his ministry pursued a foreign policy of expansion in the Near East, forming an alliance with Turkey to defend British interest against the Russian challenge. <\/span>In 1876 the Conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli introduced the Royal Titles Bill, which made Queen Victoria the Empress of India and by 1900 the small island of Britain governed one fifth of the world territories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blake comments that Disraeli “produced an epic poem, unbelievably bad, and a five-act blank verse tragedy, if possible worse. Further he wrote a discourse on political theory and a political biography, the Life of Lord George Bentinck, which is excellent … remarkably fair and accurate.” But it is on his novels that Disraeli’s literary achievements are generally judged. They have from the outset divided critical opinion. <\/span><\/p>\n

The writer R. W. Stewart observed that there have always been two criteria for judging Disraeli’s novels, one political and the other artistic. The critic Robert O’Kell, concurring, writes, “It is after all, even if you are a Tory of the staunchest blue, impossible to make Disraeli into a first-rate novelist. And it is equally impossible, no matter how much you deplore the extravagances and improprieties of his works, to make him into an insignificant one<\/span><\/p>\n
