Based on travel writings, religious history and popular literature,
Jews in the Early Modern English Imagination explores the encounter
between English travellers and the Jews. While literary and
religious traditions created an image of Jews as untrustworthy,
even sinister, travellers came to know them in their many and
diverse communities with rich traditions and intriguing
life-styles. The Jew of the imagination encountered the Jew of town
and village, in southern Europe, North Africa and the Levant.
Coming from an England riven by religious disputes and often by
political unrest, travellers brought their own questions about
identity, national character, religious belief and the quality of
human relations to their encounter with 'the scattered nation'.
