D'Israeli, Isaac 1776-1848
English writer
He was born in Enfield, Middlesex, the son of a Jewish merchant of Italian descent, and became a British subject in 1801. Although he had wished to be a creative writer, and published one or two novels, his forte was in literary illustrations of people and history, as in his Curiosities of Literature (1791-1834), Calamities of Authors (1812) and a commentary on Charles I (1831). Byron was an admirer of his work. He was the father of Benjamin Disraeli.
