Nadia Valman investigates how the figure of the Jewess brought the instabilities of nineteenth-century religious, racial and national identity into sharp focus. Reading Walter Scott, George Eliot and Anthony Trollope alongside Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Grace Aguilar and Amy Levy, Valman demonstrates the remarkable persistence of this theme across the century.
