The Footsteps of Israel: Understanding Jews in AngloSaxon England,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This innovative, wellresearched study looks at antiJudaic rhetoric in the Old English and Latin texts of AngloSaxon Englanda land lacking real Jews. The author isolates a common pool of inherited images for portraying the Jew, and teaches us to hear, especially in the vernacular, their increasingly dark and disturbing inflections.'Roberta Frank, Yale University'The Footsteps of Israel is a fascinating study of a pervasive stereotype. Scheil's analysis of how Jews, with no real physical presence in AngloSaxon England, captured the imagination of writers of the period, is a superb achievement.'Louise Mirrer, President and CEO, NewYork Historical Society'The elegance of Scheil's prose weaves a unifying thread through the vast literary and historical tapestry he presents, moving with grace from Latin to Old English, from Bede to later authors, from Wordsworth and Blake to modern writers. He speaks elegantly of these texts' conversations with the past, and the Jews emerge as both enemies and spiritual antecedents of the 'New Israel' of AngloSaxon England.'Stephen Spector, State University of New York, StonybrookJews are the omnipresent borderdwellers of medieval culture, a source of powerful metaphors active in the margins of medieval Christianity. This book outlines an important prehistory to later persecutions in England and beyond, yet it also provides a new understanding of the previously unrecognized roles Jews and Judaism played in the construction of social identity in early England.Andrew P. Scheil approaches the AngloSaxon understanding of Jews from a variety of directions, including a survey of the lengthy history of the ideology of England as the New Israel, its sources in late antique texts and its manifestation in both Old English and Latin texts from AngloSaxon England. In tandem with this perhaps more sympathetic understanding of the Jews is a darker vision of antiJudaism, associating the Jews in an emotional fashion with the materiality of the body.In exploring the complex ramifications of this history, the author is the first to assemble and study references to Jews in AngloSaxon culture. For this reason, The Footsteps of Israel will be an important source for AngloSaxonists, scholars of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, scholars of medieval antisemitism in general, students of Jewish history, and medievalists interested in cultural studies.
