(Benjamin), Earl of Beaconsfield Literary Character of Men of Genius Drawn from Their Own Feelings and Confessions E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, John R. Bilderback, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Literary Character of Men of Genius" by Isaac Disraeli is a collection of essays examining the unique qualities and experiences of literary figures, likely written in the early 19th century. The work explores how the character of men of genius is shaped by their own feelings and confessions, addressing the complexity of their lives, the nature of their genius, and the influences that guide their literary endeavors. Through various chapters, Disraeli delves into the passions, struggles, and societal perceptions that define literary characters across time. At the start of this exploration, Disraeli sets the stage by highlighting a community of literary minds united by their intellectual pursuits, emphasizing that their experiences transcend time and geography. He argues that individuals of genius share common traits, including a predisposition to solitude, a passion for study, and a deep reliance on their emotional landscapes. The author reflects on the early impulses of these individuals, connecting their youthful behavior and experiences to their later creative outputs, weaving a narrative that illustrates both the personal and communal dimensions of literary genius.
