- Education
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.
