The definitive biography by ROBERT BLAKE
Disraell is the first full-scale 1reatment of the astonishing character and
career of the man who dominated English public life during a large part of
the nineteenth century. It is a work of impeccable scholarship, written with
grace and wit; its publication is a notable literary event.
" Robert Bl ake is a great historian-sympathetic, exhaustive, and with a light
touch withal. He has not attacked; he has not defended. He has portrayed,
with delicacy and penetration, the most exciting and, in a curious way, the
most modern of all Victorian statesmen. A great book."
