'A Jew in his heart': The Reception of Disraeli's Judaism

Series
The Many Lives of Benjamin Disraeli
Audio Embed
A dynamic exploration of shifts in historical writing about Disraeli's Judaism between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Megan Kearney (D.Phil Candidate, Oxford) offers a few reasons for the historiographical foregrounding of Disraeli’s Jewishness as a race, as opposed to his engagement with Judaism as a religion. It also suggests how we might begin to situate Disraeli on the spectrum of Victorian belief and religious expression.
