Between 1830 and 1880, the Jewish community flourished in England. During this time, known as the Anglo-Jewish Enlightenment, Jewish women in England became the first Jewish women anywhere to publish novels, histories, periodicals, theological tracts, and conduct manuals. This book analyses this critical but forgotten period in the development of Jewish women's writing.
