This scholarly monograph investigates the representation of Jewish
people, characters, places and customs within the periodical
Belgravia: A London Magazine inclusive of the years 1866-1876. The
magazine, edited for a period by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, contains a
range of articles on many different subjects including history,
politics, literature, tourism etc, and the Jewish presence is clear
within a diverse field of disciplines. The study considers how this
presence changes across the time period and how these changes can
relate to broader societal and political movements that were
occurring. The book also engages with how the magazine incorporates
ideas about specific issues facing Anglo-Jewry such as conversion
and Zionism. This work very much follows on from the previous
research about Braddon and the Jewish Question. It provides a
discursive analysis of the Jewish presence in a similar way to Mary
Elizabeth Braddon and the Jewish Question: A Victorian English
Novelist and the Worlds of Anglo-Jewry, Zionism and Judaism, 1859 -
1913 but draws on the references from Mary Elizabeth Braddon's
Belgravia, A London Magazine, and the World of Anglo-Jewry, Jews
and Judaism, 1866 - 1899. There is no other research into the
Jewish presence in Belgravia but the magazine is attracting more
interest with other studies looking into this periodical. There has
been some research into the role of specifically Jewish periodicals
in the nineteenth century but few into how non-Jewish magazines
depicted Jewish people. The work is original but does fit well into
existing fields of contemporary research.
