500    $a Vivian Grey is Disraeli's first novel, originally published anonymously. Disraeli wrote a second volume which now comprises books 5-8 of the novel as it is currently published. According to critic Wendy Burton, this severely bowdlerized, revised 1853 edition, lost much of the charm and freshness of the original 1826 edition.
520    $a The novel follows Vivian Grey, a misguided and arrogant young man who is ruthless in his pursuit of power, from childhood through his attempt to succeed in the world of politics. Vivian attempts to organise a party around the Marquess of Carabas, but is thwarted by his inexperience and naivete. The catastrophe at the conclusion provides Vivian with a brutal but essential lesson in human behavior.
545    $a As a third generation Englishman of what was originally an Italian Jewish family, British statesman Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, was raised by parents who regretted their own ethnicity. Although his father Isaac D'Israeli himself never converted, after the death of his own father and a quarrel with local synagogue leaders, he had his children baptized, technically making British citizenship and all of its advantages available to them (such as the ability to own land, attend universities and hold political office-- advantages denied to any English resident who was not a member of the Church of England). Disraeli became the country's first (and so far only) Prime Minister of Jewish heritage, and played an instrumental role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party. Before and during his political career, Disraeli was also well-known as a literary and social figure, mainly writing romances, of which Sybil and Vivian Grey are perhaps the best-known today.
