This collection of essays explores the complex articulations and
contexts of anti-Semitism in the literature of four cultures
Britain, Germany, France and Italy in the long nineteenth century.
The essays examine the presence both of explicitly anti-Semitic
writing and apparently anti-Jewish stereotypes in the work of
writers who were not consciously hostile to Jews. The book
scrutinizes assumptions about the relative absence of anti-Semitism
in Britain, the image of Germany as resistant to Jewish
assimilation, and of Italy as particularly hospitable to Jews. The
essays are placed in a comparative framework in order to examine
the representation of Jews both within particular national cultures
and in the context of Western European modernity. The volume
considers the ways in which anti-Semitism functioned within liberal
culture in the nineteenth century as part of the broader history of
oppression with which Western modernity has been complicit.
