''The Jew in English Literature: As Author and As Subject'' is a comprehensive study of the portrayal of Jewish characters and themes in English literature. Written by Edward N. Calisch, this book explores the ways in which Jewish authors have depicted their own experiences and identities, as well as how non-Jewish authors have depicted Jewish characters and themes throughout history. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the Jewish author in English literature. Calisch examines the works of Jewish writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, Bernard Malamud, and Philip Roth, analyzing their use of Jewish themes and motifs in their writing. He also explores the ways in which these authors have been received by the literary establishment and the wider reading public.The second section of the book focuses on the portrayal of Jewish characters in English literature by non-Jewish authors. Calisch examines the works of authors such as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot, analyzing their depictions of Jewish characters and themes. He also discusses the historical context of these works, exploring the ways in which anti-Semitism and other cultural factors influenced the portrayal of Jewish characters in English literature.Overall, ''The Jew in English Literature: As Author and As Subject'' provides a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between English literature and Jewish identity. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature, Jewish studies, and cultural studies.From Pre-Elizabethan To Date.
