Philosemitism: Admiration and Support in the English-Speaking World for Jews, 1840-1939

by William D. Rubinstein, Hilary L. Rubinstein, W. Rubinstein

This fascinating book has two aims. The first is to draw attention to the existence of a persisting and virtually unrecognised tradition of 'philosemitism' which manifested itself in Britain and elsewhere in the English-speaking world during every significant international outbreak of antisemitism during the century after 1840. The second is to offer a typology of philosemitism, distinguishing between varieties of support for the Jewish people.
