Pagan, Turk and Jew, a phrase appearing as early as 1548, came to denominate fictional stand-ins for Irish Catholics, Muslims and Jews during the long nineteenth century. This book draws connections between the streets and stages of London to explore the role played by ethnic stereotyping in the creation of a British social body.
