Benjamin Disraeli's Biography

Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) was a towering figure in 19th-century British politics, noted for his wit, literary talent, and transformative role in shaping modern Conservatism. Born in London to a Jewish family, Disraeli was baptized into the Anglican Church as a child, a move that allowed him to pursue a political career otherwise closed to Jews at the time. He initially gained fame as a novelist before entering Parliament in 1837, after several failed attempts. Disraeli's oratory skills, charisma, and unique vision for a 'One Nation' Conservatism propelled him to the leadership of the Conservative Party. Serving twice as Prime Minister (1868 and 1874–1880), he was renowned for his bold foreign policy, including the expansion of the British Empire and securing control of the Suez Canal. Disraeli was made Earl of Beaconsfield and became a Knight of the Garter. His personal life was marked by his marriage to Mary Anne Disraeli and a lack of children. Despite his controversies—particularly his rivalry with William Gladstone—Disraeli left a lasting legacy as a reformer and a literary figure. He is remembered for his sharp quotes, such as "The secret of success is constancy to purpose," and as the first and only British Prime Minister of Jewish descent.
