The Early Modern Stage-Jew
This book investigates the contemporary conceptions of the Jewish figure on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage. Taking on what has been said about Shakespeare’s Shylock and Marlowe’s Barabas in the last centuries, seven other, largely ignored plays are analysed to enhance the image we have today of the early modern stage-Jew.
