Whilst we prepare for the next season of Podcast Against Antisemitism, welcome to our brand new six-part series chronicling the history of antisemitism in English literature. In this podcast, we explore the anti-Jewish tropes perpetuated by centuries of literary misrepresentation. Beginning with medieval poetry and concluding with contemporary plays, the series offers a comprehensive chronological overview, inclusive of social as well as literary context. From Dickens to Dahl, there’s a lot to learn!
When did the Jews first arrive in England? What was life like for a medieval Jew? Why were the Jews expelled in 1290?
In this episode, we explain the origins of Anglo-Jewish history and its effect on the literature of the period.
