About the Book
Expanding the perspective initiated by "British Romanticism and the Jews: History, Culture, Literature," this volume explores more deeply the complexities inherent in the relationship between the British and Jewish cultures as initiated in the Romantic Period in England, though extending to the present in the Middle East. A collection of fourteen essays, the book is divided into four parts. The first--British Culture and the Jews--explores the intersection between the British and the Jews from the British perspective, containing four essays that analyze different ways the British adapted and incorporated Judaica into the broader body politic. The second section--Jewish Writers and British Culture--explores the opposite phenomena, its four essays considering the ways in which Jewish writers reconciled the divergent pulls between their Jewish heritage and British nationalism. The third section--The Jews and British Romanticism Outside of England--carries the discussion beyond the more localized phenomenon of Romanticism in England, its three essays considering British Middle Eastern foreign policy, Hebrew and Yiddish translations of British Romanticism, and manifestations of British Romanticism in modern Hebrew literature. The last three essays focus on various ways in which arguably the most significant of the British Romanticists responded to Judaica.
