T1 - The Marginalization of Early Modern Anglo-Jewish History
AU - Katz, David S.
PY - 1991/3/1
Y1 - 1991/3/1
N2 - The history of early modern Anglo-Jewry has suffered from a dual disability: English historians often pass over Jewish themes, while at the same time Anglo-Jewish historiography has been excessively patriotic, conservative, and ‘Whig’, that is, ends-oriented, the 'End of Anglo-Jewish History’ being Emancipation. These tendencies can be illustrated by examining three specific examples: (1) a ‘Christian’ subject whose ‘Jewish’ component has been left out (Newton‘s theology); (2) a'Jewish subject whose ‘Christian’ aspect has been excised (Spinoza and the Quakers); and (3) a ‘neutral’ subject which has been misunderstood through lack of co-operation between gentile and Jewish historians (Anglo-Jewry and the Glorious Revolution).
