Abstract

This paper analyzes the cartoons featuring Benjamin Disraeli after his death and the concept of “One Nation”. It shows that Disraeli remained through the 20th century a persona which British cartoonists recurringly made use of, although Churchill, and to some degree Thatcher, were far more popular figures in British cartoons. It contends that “One Nation” was subjected to a parodic treatment which suggests that the Disraeli-related slogan was viewed as an empty catchphrase.
