The Early Novels of Benjamin Disraeli Vol 2

This volume is part of a Routledge library reprint series that recovers the early literary works of Benjamin Disraeli, the nineteenth-century British statesman and novelist. The project was curated to provide contemporary scholars and readers with accessible, high-quality editions of texts that were instrumental in shaping Disraeli’s reputation as a writer of society novels before he became a dominant figure in Victorian politics.

The editorial work for this series, including this specific volume, was overseen by Daniel Schwarz, a noted scholar of Victorian literature. The design of these reprints emphasizes academic utility, featuring scholarly introductions that contextualize Disraeli’s satirical and romantic style. Upon publication in the modern era, these volumes were received as essential archival resources for those studying the intersection of political biography and the development of the English novel.
