The Works of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield: Embracing Novels, Romances, Plays, Poems, Biography, Short Stories and Great Speeches Volume 18

This volume is part of the expansive 'Works of Benjamin Disraeli' series, a collection intended to consolidate the literary and political output of the influential 19th-century British Prime Minister. Published originally during the late Victorian era to preserve Disraeli's legacy as both a statesman and a novelist, these editions were designed to appeal to educated readers who valued the intersection of high politics and romantic literature. The series gathered his social novels, such as 'Sybil' and 'Coningsby', alongside his speeches, providing a comprehensive view of a man who defined Tory democracy.

The physical design of these volumes typically features the formal, gilt-embossed aesthetic characteristic of nineteenth-century subscription sets. Produced by various publishing houses over the decades, the aim was to present Disraeli's work in a format suitable for the private libraries of the British elite and academic institutions. While the specific ISBN referenced represents a modern reprint designed to keep these historical texts accessible for researchers and bibliophiles, the editorial content remains rooted in the original efforts to canonize Disraeli’s complex contribution to English letters.
