The Jew In English Fiction (1918)

By David Philipson

Book Overview

The Jew in English Fiction is a book written by David Philipson and originally published in 1918. The book explores the portrayal of Jewish characters in English literature from the early Middle Ages to the early 20th century. Philipson examines how these characters were depicted, from the stereotypical and negative portrayals in medieval literature to the more nuanced and sympathetic portrayals in modern literature. He also discusses the historical context in which these works were written and the societal attitudes towards Jews at the time. The book is a fascinating exploration of the evolution of the portrayal of Jews in English literature and provides valuable insights into the history of anti-Semitism and the changing attitudes towards Jews in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
