Originally published in 1884 as a centennial biography for Sir
Moses Montefiore (1784 1885), this book draws on official records
and informal writings to create a well-rounded account of
Montefiore's life as, firstly, a financier and, later, a
significant Jewish community leader. In an age of frequent pogroms
and anti-Semitic prejudice in Europe, Montefiore immersed himself
in philanthropic works after a religious awakening in 1824 in
Palestine. By encouraging reforms, lobbying for the release of
wrongfully imprisoned Jews and investing in Jewish projects all
over Europe, he endeavoured to improve the lives and rights of Jews
globally. Wolf (1857 1930) was himself a prominent political
journalist and campaigner for Jewish rights. His book not only
recounts Montefiore's life and achievements, but also incorporates
the history of English Jews between 750 and 1837.
