Civil Antisemitism, Modernism, and British Culture, 1902-1939 (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book addresses the development of 'civil' anti-Semitism in twentieth-century Britain, a crucial and often critically neglected strand of anti-Jewish rhetoric that, prior to 1934, was essential to the legitimization of proto-fascist political and literary discourses, as well as stylistic practices within literary modernism.

Rezensionen

"[Civil Antisemitism, Modernism, and British Culture, 1902-1939] contains some crucial insights into our study of antisemitism and modernism. Civil Antisemitism moves us away from the discussion of Jewish stereotype to a method that reveals a hidden and complicated rhetoric regarding Jews, and it opens up a new realm of investigation for those interested in Woolf and Jews. It is a worthy book because its methodology serves as a model for further investigations into the impact of Jews and Jewishness on Woolf and her modernist contemporaries." - Woolf Studies Annual

"This is an important contribution to our understanding of civil antisemitism in modern Britain. The link between rhetoric, politics, and literary culture is made with great skill and moves well beyond the received ways of thinking about the subject. Anyone interested in modernism and the Jews should buy this book." - Bryan Cheyette, University of Reading
