About Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
British Prime Minister who built modern Conservative populism; the only PM of Jewish heritage and a celebrated novelist before politics. Closely associated with Lord Salisbury (his Conservative successor as PM). For an intellectual contrast, see William Ewart Gladstone, four-time Liberal Prime Minister — the two alternated as PM four times — Gladstone's free-trade moralism and Disraeli's imperialist pragmatism are the founding poles of British party politics.
