Es war der grosste Triumph des Liberalismus im 19. Jahrhundert, dass Benjamin Disraeli auf dem Hohepunkt des britischen Empires Premierminister werden konnte. Der getaufte Sohn eines judischen Literaten verbrachte seine Jugend am unteren Rand der vorviktorianischen aristokratischen Gesellschaft und machte durch skandalose Liebschaften von sich reden. Hoch verschuldet, vermochte ihn nur seine Wahl zum Unterhausmitglied vor dem Gefangnis zu bewahren. Seine schriftstellerische Begabung verschaffte ihm die Wortgewandtheit, mit der er Zugang zur Macht gewann. Die noch vom Landadel beherrschte konservative Partei musste ihn schliesslich als Fuhrer anerkennen. Als Premierminister stand er in einem ritterlichen, fast romantischen Verhaltnis zur verwitweten Konigin Viktoria, das ihm auch in politischer Hinsicht von grossem Nutzen war. Seine pragnanten Formulierungen - etwa die von den zwei Nationen: die Nation der Reichen und die der Armen, in die England auseinanderfalle - werden bis heute zitiert und man schatzt ihn als den Staatsmann, der eine konservativ eingestellte, wahlberechtigte Masse antizipierte.
