Moving ‘out’ to be ‘in’: The suburbanization of London Jewry, 1900–1939
Between 1900 and 1939, Jewish Londoners departed the East End for the suburbs. Relocation, however, was not always the result of individual agency. Many Jews became the object of institutional strategies to coerce and persuade them to disperse away from inner-city areas. Simultaneous to this was the emergence of a dominant pro-suburban rhetoric within and beyond Jewish cultural circles, which aimed to raise aspirations towards middle-class lifest…

Belgian Refugees in Cheshire: ‘Place’ and the Invisibility of the Displaced
The First World War centenary has invigorated research into the Belgian refugee presence, especially at the local level. However, as this article argues, the responses which Belgians elicited locally, as well as the ‘quality’ and longevity of the memory culture surrounding them, were intimately tethered to ideas about and experiences of ‘place’ during the war and after. Exiled Belgians were almost uniquely positioned to communicate the totality o…
Visualizing Jews Through the Ages: Literary and Material Representations of Jewishness and Judaism
In the centre of Jerusalem stood the Jewish Temple and in the inner sanctum of the Temple was the 'Holy of Holies', a place where only one man, the High Priest, was permitted to enter just once a year, on the Day of Atonement. Hegel, however, took Pompey's side of the argument. The Jews rejection of images and idols seemed to Hegel to confirm this people's distinct lack of any aesthetic sensibility. Dan Smith has pointed out, there is plenty of e…

Blurring the Boundaries of Difference: Dracula , the Empire, and ‘the Jew’
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) has evolved into a fantastical staple of the gothic horror genre for the modern age, yet the metaphorical implications of the tale still remain illusive and, consequently, contested. Stoker himself chose to perpetuate this illusiveness, admitting that ‘every book of the kind must contain some lesson’ yet intriguingly insisted that he ‘prefer that readers should find it out for themselves’. Exploiting that ‘free licenc…
The Jew in the eruv , the Jew in the suburb: Contesting the public face and the private space of British Jewry
In recent years, British-Jewish commentators, novelists, film-makers and others have identified and bemoaned the existence and persistence of a very ‘British’ preoccupation with image within the community. That preoccupation, which is grounded in the mentality that Jews in Britain should be neither seen nor heard, can be traced back to the period of mass Jewish immigration (and beyond), and can be identified in debates about Jewish space and plac…
