First published in 1996, James Shapiro's pathbreaking analysis of
the portrayal of Jews in Elizabethan England challenged readers to
recognize the significance of Jewish questions in Shakespeare's
day. From accounts of Christians masquerading as Jews to fantasies
of settling foreign Jews in Ireland, Shapiro's work delves deeply
into the cultural insecurities of Elizabethans while illuminating
Shakespeare's portrayal of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. In a
new preface, Shapiro reflects upon what he has learned about
intolerance since the first publication of Shakespeare and the
Jews.
