| Summary | "Disraeli: A Study in Personality and Ideas" by Walter Sichel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complex personality and significant ideas of Benjamin Disraeli, exploring his influence on British politics and society in the 19th century. It appears to focus on themes related to imagination in governance, the role of personality in politics, and Disraeli's unique contributions to political thought, illustrating how his personal experiences and literary background shaped his political strategies. The opening of the work introduces the essential theme of the role of imagination in governance, positing that true statesmanship cannot thrive without this quality. Sichel argues that Disraeli's imaginative capacity allowed him to connect with the emotions of the public and craft policies that resonated with their passions. The text emphasizes that Disraeli’s approach diverged from utilitarian views prevalent in his time, suggesting that he advocated for a political vision that balanced reason with a deeper emotional engagement with the populace. This sets the stage for a nuanced examination of Disraeli’s personality and political ideology throughout the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
