Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. Octavo in dust jacket, xiv, 265 pp., b/w illustrations, notes, index Introduction by the editors. "The subject of Disraeli's jewishness was one that obsessed contemporaries but was subsequently downplayed by historians and others until very recently. The essays in this volume provide a new perspective, stressing the importance of Disraeli's Jewishness in the construction of his personality, ideology and politics as well as in responses to him. This collection is an important addition not only to the understanding of Disraeli but also to the workings of race relations in Liberal Victorian Britain." ISBS website.
