From the beginning of modern intellectual history to the culture
wars of the present day, the experience of assimilating Jews and
the idiom of "culture" have been fundamentally intertwined with
each other. Freedman's book begins by looking at images of the
stereotypical Jew in the literary culture of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century England and America, and then considers the
efforts on the part of Jewish critics and intellectuals to counter
this image in the public sphere. It explores the unexpected
parallels and ironic reversals between a cultural dispensation that
had ambivalent responses to Jews and Jews who became exponents of
that very tradition.
