Tancred
by Benjamin Disraeli
Tancred; or The New Crusade, a novel by Benjamin Disraeli, first published by Henry Colburn in three volumes. Together with Coningsby (1844) and Sybil (1845), he forms a series sometimes referred to as the Young England trilogy. He shares a number of characters with his earlier novels, but unlike them, he is less interested in the political and social situation of England than a religious or even mystical theme: the question of how Judaism and Christianity should be reconciled, and the Church has been revived as a progressive force.
