Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Pocketful of Sixpences When Lord Beaconsfield´s statue was erected in Westminster Abbey, a Tory chieftain, who had followed him grudgingly and of necessity, suggested this inscription - "Twice Prime Minister of England, and once a Scrivener´s Clerk." The fact indicated in that second clause has its relevance to the literary no less than to the political history of this extraordinary man. In 1826 he "appeared full-orbed above the horizon" as author of Vivian Grey. So appeared Bulwer-Lytton with Pelham, and Macaulay with his Essay on Milton, and Dickens with Sketches by Boz. But Lytton was twenty-five years old; Macaulay was twenty-four; Dickens twenty-five; whereas Benjamin Disraeli had only just struck twenty-one.
