Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to present the political and social ideas which Benjamin Disraeli expressed through his fiction. His novels have been said to be a means whereby Disraeli clarified his ideas in his own mind before he attempted direct political or practical action. Since Disraeli was a statesman as well as a novelist, the question of whether or not, or to what extent, Disraeli's ideas were put into action is a more valid question, perhaps, than in the case of any other English author.
