Publisher's Synopsis

Lord Beaconsfield's Correspondence with His Sister 1832-1852 is a collection of letters written by Benjamin Disraeli, the British politician and novelist, to his sister Sarah Disraeli. The letters cover a period of twenty years, from 1832 to 1852, and offer a unique insight into Disraeli's personal and political life during this time. The correspondence begins when Disraeli is a young man, struggling to establish himself in the world of politics and literature. He writes to his sister about his hopes and ambitions, his successes and failures, and his relationships with other prominent figures of the day. As the years go by, Disraeli's fortunes improve, and he becomes a leading figure in the Conservative Party, serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer and later as Prime Minister.Throughout the correspondence, Disraeli's affection for his sister is evident, and he often seeks her advice and support. He shares with her his opinions on a wide range of topics, from the state of the nation to the latest gossip from the salons of London. Lord Beaconsfield's Correspondence with His Sister 1832-1852 is a fascinating insight into the life of one of the most important figures of Victorian Britain, and a testament to the enduring bond between siblings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
