This work traces the Jewish thread throughout English life between the Tudors and the beginning of mass immigration in the mid-19th century. The writing of English history has very largely been framed without taking note of the Jewish presence at all. In this book, Jews are shown as an integral part of English religious and social history. David S. Katz explores many themes and issues in depth. He examines hitherto unexplored topics, such as the Jewish advocates of Henry VIII's divorce and the Jewish conspirators of Elizabethan England, as well as contributing to the continuing debate on subjects such as the role of Jewish finance and the emergence of Anglo-Jewish institutions. This extensively researched history of the Jews in England over almost four centuries should interest those who are interested English and Jewish history alike.
