In Lothair, Disraeli delves into the life of a young and wealthy aristocrat navigating the political and religious complexities of 19th-century Britain. The novel explores themes of identity, faith, and duty as Lothair is torn between the influences of Catholicism, Protestantism, and secularism. With its satirical portrayal of high society and rich political commentary, Lothair reflects Disraeli's own views on the tensions of his era. Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, (1804-1881) was a parliamentarian, Conservative statesman and literary figure, twice serving as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Before and during his political career, Disraeli was well known as a literary and social figure, best known today for his romances, Sybil and Vivian Grey. Lothair was written after Disraeli's first term as Prime Minister, and deals with the comparative merits of the Catholic and Anglican churches as heirs of Judaism, and with the then-topical question of Italian unification. Lothair was a hugely popular work among 19th century readers.

Autorenporträt
Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, KG, PC, FRS (21 December 1804 - 19 April 1881) was a British politician of the Conservative Party who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the glory and power of the British Empire. He is the only British prime minister to have been of Jewish birth. He was also a novelist, publishing works of fiction even as prime minister. Disraeli was born in Bloomsbury, then a part of Middlesex. His father left Judaism after a dispute at his synagogue; young Benjamin became an Anglican at the age of 12. After several unsuccessful attempts, Disraeli entered the House of Commons in 1837. In 1846 the Prime Minister at the time, Sir Robert Peel, split the party over his proposal to repeal the Corn Laws, which involved ending the tariff on imported grain. Disraeli clashed with Peel in the House of Commons. Disraeli became a major figure in the party. When Lord Derby, the party leader, thrice formed governments in the 1850s and 1860s, Disraeli served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons.
