Isaac D'Israeli

British writer (1766–1848)

Isaac D'Israeli is remembered in literature for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Isaac D'Israeli as British writer (1766–1848).

Isaac D'Israeli was born at London Borough of Enfield in 1766. His recorded nationality is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He was educated at Leiden University.

The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.

The record gives his occupations as literary historian, writer and literary critic.

His affiliations include John Murray.

Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold.

Working from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Isaac D'Israeli died in 1848 at the age of 82. The work outlived the arguments around it.
