Could someone please explain how "Victoria & Disraeli" is solved with "authors"??

Disraeli was also an author, and..

Not entirely convinced by Authors either...suppose it could be in the sense of "prime movers" of their day.

At 16D can't parse "regard", all I can see is a definition part...

Neither can I.....Diehard is definitely correct for 22ac. - otherwise I had thought "reason" for 15d. Cause = reason, and "can't pay attention" = "no ears" (anagram) Oh well........

There is a doll called Victoria Action and Disraeli had some famous quotes on "action" so I thought i'd go with ACTIONS.

We'll see :)

Am with ixion re parsing of 'REGARD' but, for want of a better alternative, have opted for that. No doubt will be the usual waste of a stamp and envelope. :)
