"This book examines Jewish communities in Britain in an era of immense social, economic and religious change: from the acceleration of industrialisation to the end of the first phase of large-scale Jewish immigration from Europe. Using the 1851 census alongside extensive charity and community records, Jews in Nineteenth-Century Britain tests the impact of migration, new types of working and changes in patterns of worship on the family and community life of seven of the fastest-growing industrial towns in Britain. Communal life for the Jews living there (over a third of whom had been born overseas) was a constantly shifting balance between the generation of wealth and respectability, and the risks of inundation by poor newcomers. But while earlier studies have used this balance as a backdrop for the story of individual Jewish communities, this book highlights the interactions between the people who made them up. At the core of the book is the question of what membership of the 'imagined community' of global Jewry meant: how it helped those who belonged to it, how it affected where they lived and who they lived with, the jobs that they did and the wealth or charity that they had access to. By stitching together patterns of residence, charity and worship, Alysa Levene is here able to reveal that religious and cultural bonds had vital functions both for making ends meet and for the formation of identity in a period of rapid demographic, religious and cultural change"--

Stories about Jewesses proliferated in nineteenth-century Britain as debates about the place of the Jews in the nation raged. While previous scholarship has explored the prevalence of antisemitic stereotypes in this period, Nadia Valman argues that the figure of the Jewess - virtuous, appealing and sacrificial - reveals how hostility towards Jews was accompanied by pity, identification and desire. Reading a range of texts from popular romance to the realist novel, she investigates how the complex figure of the Jewess brought the instabilities of nineteenth-century religious, racial and national identity into uniquely sharp focus. Tracing the narrative of the Jewess from its beginnings in Romantic and Evangelical literature, and reading canonical writers including Walter Scott, George Eliot and Anthony Trollope alongside more minor figures such as Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Grace Aguilar and Amy Levy, Valman demonstrates the remarkable persistence of this narrative and its myriad transformations across the century.

A celebration of Jewish life in Britain and the contributions Jews have made to British life, particularly in the past 350 years. 2006 is a key date, which British jewry is celebrating, as, in 1656, Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews to practise their religion freely in England for the first time. JEWS IN BRITAIN is not meant to be triumphalist, but it is Gilbert's wish to emphasise the positive and constructive nature of Jewish life in Britain, particularly since the 19th century. However, the book will open with an introductory chapter on early Jewish medieval life, until the expulsion of 1290. Throughout, one focus will be on individuals, and another on the flow of events. Among the former will be 'the Jew Jacob', who, to this day, has a celebratory gargoyle at the entrance of an Oxford college because it was created when Jacob sold two of his houses for the residential use of students. The four and half centuries after the expulsion of Jews in 1290 did not mean that no Jews were to be found in England. As Gilbert points out, Elizabeth I's physician was a Portuguese Jew (but his conversion to Christianity did not prevent him from being executed following an alleged poison plot). Shakespeare was well aware of Jews - witness Shylock. So, indeed, 300 years later, was Dickens with Fagin. But it was the 19th century that saw Jews emancipated into the British way of life. Disraeli became Prime Minister; Lord Macaulay championed Jewish rights. Then Britain opened its doors to mass Jewish immigration from the Russian pogroms... Gilbert shows just how important Jews have been to 20th century Britain and across the world. He does not shy away from anti-semitism, and why it continues today.

Victorian Jews Through British Eyes written by Anne Cowen and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1986 with Architecture categories.
The authors have selected nearly 150 illustrations, with commentary, from Victorian illustrated magazines such as 'The Illustrated London News', 'Punch', and 'The Graphic', to show how Jewish subjects were presented to Victorian readers. This material, unique because it was produced mainly from eye-witness accounts, also provides a new source to illustrate the social history of Victorian Jews, especially in Britain. The British image of the Jew is shown to progress during this period from a collection of stereotypes - the financier, the pedlar and old clothes-man, the rather shady ancillary of the machinery of the law - to a more accurate representation of a Victorian bourgeois with distinctive religious practices and traditions; and then again to stereotypes produced by concentration on an 'Aliens Question'. Introductory essays by Roger Cowen and V. D. Lipman respectively, describe the Victorian illustrated magazines as sources of material and the Jewish background in nineteenth-century Britain.
