Most studies of Jews in medieval England begin with the year 1066,
when Jews first arrived on English soil. Yet the absence of Jews in
England before the conquest did not prevent early English authors
from writing obsessively about them. Using material from the
writings of the Church Fathers, contemporary continental sources,
widespread cultural stereotypes, and their own imaginations, their
depictions of Jews reflected their own politico-theological
experiences. The thirteen essays in Imagining the Jew in
Anglo-Saxon Literature and Culture examine visual and textual
representations of Jews, the translation and interpretation of
Scripture, the use of Hebrew words and etymologies, and the
treatment of Jewish spaces and landmarks. By studying the
"imaginary Jews" of Anglo-Saxon England, they offer new
perspectives on the treatment of race, religion, and ethnicity in
pre- and post-conquest literature and culture.
