Disraeli: Portrait of a Romantic

During the Regency Period young, ambitious novelist Benjamin Disreali has more success in the boudoir than in his attempts to be elected to Parliament.

Disreali begins his early career as a Conservative and marries the widow of his friend and mentor, 13 years his senior.

Disreali rises to power in the Coservative Party and builds a close relationship with the Queen as Mary Anne's health begins to deteriorate.

Disreali leads Britain as Prime minister and favorite of the Queen as he protects British interests in the Suez Canal and the Balkans.
