Crisp copy. ; "Of fundamental importance, the analyses of the Jewish characters detect the different ways in which prejudice functions within the various novels. The following chapters necessarily explore various correlations between prejudice and art that are to be found in Victorian novels, and the effect these have on Jewish characters, rather than merely apply a rigid theory to texts, resulting in an overly simple view of the nature of Jewish characters in Victorian novels. For the Victorian novel is far from a set genre, and there is a great deal of diversity among the artistic techniques of the various authors, as well as among their social visions and moral precepts." - author's Preface.
