Description: | Select Guide Rating A comprehensive history of the Jews in the United Kingdom since emancipation in the mid-nineteenth century to the summer of 2013. Originally conceived as a natural sequel to The History of the Jews in England by Dr Cecil Roth, which ended with the granting of full political equality in 1858, this is an important departure from Professor Alderman''s previous work, Modern British Jewry. Geoffrey Alderman tracks the examination of the social structure and economic base of Jewish communities in Victorian England, to the great immigration of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the development of the Zionist movement in Britain. Drawing on the most up-to-date research and based on a wealth of sources, British Jewry Since Emancipation is the most authoritative and definitive history of modern British Jewry available. |
