Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England by Anthony Julius
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.8MB
Overview: Trials of the Diaspora is a ground-breaking book that reveals the full history of anti-Semitism in England. Anthony Julius focuses on four distinct versions of English anti-Semitism. He begins with the medieval persecution of Jews, which included defamation, expropriation, and murder, and which culminated in 1290 when King Edward I expelled all the Jews from England. Turning to literary anti-Semitism, Julius shows that negative portrayals of Jews have been continuously present in English literature from the anonymous medieval ballad “Sir Hugh, or the Jew’s Daughter,” through Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, to T. S. Eliot and beyond. The book then moves to a depiction of modern anti-Semitism–a pervasive but contained prejudice of insult and exclusion that was experienced by Jews during their “readmission” to England in the mid 17th century through the late 20th century.
