The Temple of Culture: Assimilation and Anti-Semitism in Literary Anglo-America Book

Freedman's book begins by looking at images of the stereotypical Jew in the literary culture of nineteenth- and twentieth-century England and America, and then considers the efforts on the part of Jewish critics and intellectuals to counter this image in the public sphere.
