About This Item
New York: The Century Company, 1904. Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
Tan cloth with paste-on spine title; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with minor edge rubbing, the spine label has small chips. 8 inches tall; 440 pages with three plates from drawings by C. D. Williams.. An English political novel by Benjamin Disraeli, published in 1844.
The book is set against a background of the real political events of the 1830s in England that followed the enactment of the Reform Bill of 1832.
In describing these events Disraeli sets out his own beliefs including his opposition to Robert Peel, his dislikes of both the British Whig Party and the ideals of Utilitarianism, and the need for social justice in a newly industrialized society.
He portrays the self-serving politician in the character of Rigby (based on John Wilson Croker) and the malicious party insiders in the characters of Taper and Tadpole.
