Reviews

This is a wonderful and accessible book written with energy and enthusiasm incorporating political, social, cultural and religious history. It is the first to explore the responses of English Jewry to the French Revolution and how British politics and culture dealt with 'the Jew' at a critical moment of turmoil, fear and excitement.""- Professor Tony Kushner, Parkes Institute, University of Southampton
