Book Synopsis Disraeli and Victorian Conservatism by : Terry Jenkins
Download or read book Disraeli and Victorian Conservatism written by Terry Jenkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1996-09-04 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, remains one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures in British political history. He was the romantic radical, who went on to lead the Conservative party; the urban, middle class Jew, who identified himself with a ruling elite based on the aristocracy, land and Anglicanism. This study of Disraeli seeks to provide a balanced coverage of the whole of his career, giving equal weight to the long period spent as leader of the opposition, as well as examining his rise to the Conservative leadership and his subsequent record as Prime Minister. An assessment is offered of Disraeli's contribution to the late-Victorian Conservative party's political ascendancy, and in particular to its image as the 'national' party.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pursuit of political fame, he played a crucial role in the Conservative rebellion against Sir Robert Peel's Ministry in 1846, but his achievement seemed essentially destructive, helping to consign his party to a generation of almost permanent exclusion from office. At the age of nearly seventy, however, Disraeli finally led the Conservatives to a general election victory and, in retrospect, he was credited with the creation of a 'Tory Democracy'.

Book Synopsis Conservatism and British Foreign Policy, 1820–1920 by : Geoffrey Hicks
Download or read book Conservatism and British Foreign Policy, 1820–1920 written by Geoffrey Hicks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Derbys of Knowsley Hall have been neglected by historians to an astonishing degree. In domestic political terms, the legacies of Disraeli and his Conservative successors have long obscured their Lancastrian aristocratic predecessors. As far as foreign policy is concerned, twentieth century politics and scholarship have often suggested crude polarities: for example, the idea of 'appeasement' versus Churchillian belligerence has its nineteenth century equivalent in Aberdeen's apparent rivalry with Palmerston. The subtleties of other views, such as those represented by the Derbys, have either been overlooked or misunderstood. In addition, the fact that much crucial archival and editorial work has only been carried out in the last two decades has had a significant impact. Examining a range of topics in domestic and foreign policy, this collection brings a fresh approach to the political history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through a series of innovative essays. It will appeal to those with an interest in the decline of the aristocracy, Victorian high politics and the politics of the regions, as well as the Conservative tradition in foreign policy.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Conservatism by : Angus Hawkins
Download or read book Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Conservatism written by Angus Hawkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conservative party remains the longest-established major political party in modern British history. This collection makes available 19th century documents illuminating aspects of Conservatism through a critical period in the party’s history, from 1830 to 1874. It throws light on Conservative ideas, changing policies, party organisation and popular partisan support, showing how Conservatism evolved and responded to domestic and global change. It explores how certain clusters of ideas and beliefs comprised a Conservative view of political action and purposes, often reinforcing the importance of historic institutions such as the Anglican Church, the monarchy and the constitution. It also looks at the ways in which a broadening electorate required the marshalling of Conservative supporters through greater party organisation, and how the Conservative party became the embodiment and expression of durable popular political sentiment. The collection examines how the Conservative party became a body seeking to deliver progress combined with stability. The documents brought together in this collection give direct voice to how Conservatives of the period perceived and extolled their aspirations, aims, and the values of Conservatism. Introductory essays highlight the main themes and nature of Conservatism in a dynamic age of change and how the Conservative axiom, in an imperfect world of successful adaptation, being essential to effective preservation informed and defined the Conservative party, the views of its leaders, the beliefs of its supporters, and the political outlook they espoused. This volume explores teh period 1850-1874.

Book Synopsis The Historiography of Gladstone and Disraeli by : Ian St John
Download or read book The Historiography of Gladstone and Disraeli written by Ian St John and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the often sharply differing perspectives historians have formed with regard to the key incidents in the careers of the two foremost politicians of the Victorian age – Gladstone and Disraeli. Following the parallel careers of both men, it focuses upon a series of contentious questions, ranging from why Disraeli opposed Corn Law repeal in 1846 and Gladstone abandoned his High Tory politics for Peelism, to whether Disraeli was ever an Imperialist and why Gladstone took up the cause of Irish Home Rule. By juxtaposing the contrasting interpretations advocated by historians, it brings home to students how history is a continually evolving subject in which every generation poses new questions, or reformulates answers to old ones – encouraging those studying the subject to realise that history is an ongoing dialogue to which they are called upon to contribute.

Download or read book Disraeli written by Edgar Feuchtwanger and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2000-04-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of the modern British Conservative party has been described as an adventurer, a charlatan, a clever rogue and a perspicacious politician. These different characterizations have all had their ardent supporters as Benjamin Disraeli rarely inspired indifference from his contemporaries or later commentators. This new lively study sheds light on Disraeli's controversial life and ambiguous political legacy, providing a portrait of one of the great personalities of the age and the leader of the key political movement of Victorian Britain. Before becoming Prime Minister in 1874, Disraeli was an exotic, dandified figure. He was a novelist who escaped his creditors, and launched a political career, with his election to a seat in the House of Commons. He showed in his political life a writer's command of the potent image and pregnant phrase. A one-of-a-kind figure in Westminster politics, he was a favorite of monarchs but distrusted or disliked by most of the members of his own party. However, his speeches and writings remain memorable and influential and he has become an iconic figure to a diverse group of modern-day conservatives.
Book Synopsis Sybil, or the Two Nations by : Benjamin Disraeli
Download or read book Sybil, or the Two Nations written by Benjamin Disraeli and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “His portrait of life in a grim, northern manufacturing town is vivid and memorable . . . Without Disraeli, Charles Dickens might not have written Hard Times.” —The Guardian Charles Egremont, the younger brother of an English earl, was brought up in the enjoyment of every comfort and luxury that refinement could devise and wealth furnish. And even though enjoyment, not ambition, seems the principle of his existence, he is blessed with a generous spirit and tender heart. But his quaint, rural village hides a terrible truth: a miserable population of workers, victims of penury and disease. Yearning to learn more about their plight, Egremont poses as a reporter. He comes in contact with the beautiful and serene Sybil Gerard, the daughter of a factory worker. And as his brother tries to set up an arranged marriage for him, Egremont finds that his heart belongs to Sybil. Her caring spirit opens up horizons for him, allowing him to clearly see the harm and misery caused by a divided England. A scathing portrait of the dichotomy of industrialized English society, Sybil, or the Two Nations “is both an upper-class romance and a political manifesto set against the backdrop of the Chartist movement” (The Victorian Web).
