Description: "Anti-Semitism and British Gothic Literature is the first major full-length study of the Gothic's engagement with the Jewish Question and British national identity. Reading the legendary figure of the transnational Wandering Jew as emblematic of the Jewish Question, Davison traces his rich and often ambivalent portrait to such diverse sources as medieval anti-Semitic stereotypes and Enlightenment debates over modernity. His increasing vampirism is discussed against the backdrop of Britain's development as a rapidly industrializing and imperialist nation involved in negotiating the relationship between ethics and economics. What emerges is the elucidation of an anti-Semitic 'spectropoetics' in classic Gothic works by such authors as Bram Stoker, Matthew Lewis, William Godwin and Charles Robert Maturin, that convey how the spectres of Jewish Otherness and Jewish assimilation haunt British literature. This study brings a wealth of historical and cultural scholarship to bear on the religious questions that first fuelled the Gothic."--BOOK JACKET.
