Benjamin Disraeli

    21 december 1804 – 19 april 1881

    Een vooraanstaande Britse politicus en auteur, hij diende twee keer als premier en liet een aanzienlijke indruk achter op de negentiende-eeuwse politiek. Hij is vooral bekend om zijn intense rivaliteit met een politieke tegenstander en zijn gunst bij koningin Victoria. Zijn grootste politieke prestaties omvatten belangrijke bijdragen aan een cruciale hervormingswet en de oprichting van de moderne Conservatieve Partij. Hoewel zijn literaire bezigheden vaak ondergeschikt waren aan zijn politieke ambities, omvat zijn werk zowel romantische als politieke romans.
