For the first time in over a century, this edition makes available
the work of the most important Jewish writer in early and
mid-Victorian Britain. Grace Aguilar (1816-1847) broke new literary
ground by writing from the unique perspective of an Anglo-Jewish
woman. Aguilar's writing responds to English representations of
Jews and women by writers such as Felicia Hemans, Maria Edgeworth,
Sir Walter Scott, and Thomas Macaulay. She both assimilates and
alters the genres of historical romance, dramatic monologue,
domestic fiction, history, and midrash, among others. This edition
includes Aguilar's novella The Perez Family in its entirety; the
Sephardic historical romance "The Escape," her Sephardic historical
romance, "History of the Jews in England," the first such history
ever written by a Jew; major poems; excerpts from The Women of
Israel; and Aguilar's Frankfurt journal, never before published.
Also included are primary source materials such as writings on "the
Jewish question" from Aguilar's non-Jewish contemporaries, tributes
and memoirs, and contemporary responses to her work.
