Julius focuses on four distinct versions of English anti-Semitism. He first describes the anti-Semitism of medieval England, a radical prejudice of defamation, expropriation, and murder, which culminated in 1290, the year Edward I expelled the Jews from England. The second strand is literary anti-Semitism, from the anonymous medieval ballad \"Sir Hugh, or the Jew's Daughter,\" through Chaucer's \"The Prioress's Tale\" and Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eMerchant of Venice\u003c\/em\u003e, to T. S. Eliot and beyond. The third is modern anti-Semitism, the commonplace anti-Semitism of insult and exclusion, running from the mid-17th century through to the late 20th century. The final chapters then deal with contemporary anti-Semitism, emerging in the late 1960s and the 1970s, which treats Zionism and the State of Israel as illegitimate Jewish enterprises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47596946751639,"sku":"9780199600724","price":4933.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199600724.webp?v=1774995710","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/trials-of-diaspora-p-9780199600724","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
