Coles Benjamin Disraeli, the Earl of Beaconsfield, K.G.: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Benjamin Disraeli emerges here as one of Victorian Britain's most dazzling and divisive figures: a novelist turned statesman, an outsider of Jewish heritage who rose through Parliament to lead the Conservatives, become Prime Minister, and ultimately Earl of Beaconsfield. The book frames his career with a vivid historical introduction, then follows him through a chronological procession of Punch cartoons that satirize his ambitions, reversals, and self-fashioning. Across the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s, the caricatures trace Disraeli's evolution from parliamentary opportunist to national leader, highlighting recurring tensions over reform, protectionism, party intrigue, theatrical presentation, and rivalry with men such as Derby and Gladstone. The result is a satirical timeline of his public life, showing how he was imagined, challenged, and reinvented in the political press. More visual compilation than continuous narrative, the work builds its portrait of Disraeli through image, wit, and mockery. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
