"In a period of ongoing debate about faith, identity, migration and culture, this
timely study explores the often politicised nature of constructions of one of Britain's
longest standing minority communities. Representations in children's literature influenced
by the impact of the Enlightenment, the Empire, the Holocaust and 9/11 reveal an ongoing
concern with establishing, maintaining or problematising the boundaries between Jews
and Gentiles. Chapters on gender, refugees, multiculturalism and historical fiction
argue that literature for young people demonstrates that the position of Jews in Britain
has been ambivalent, and that this ambivalence has persisted to a surprising degree
in view of the dramatic socio-cultural changes that have taken place over two centuries.
Wide-ranging in scope and interdisciplinary in approach, Jews and Jewishness in British
Children's Literature discusses over one hundred texts ranging from picture books
to young adult fiction and realism to fantasy. Madelyn Travis examines rare eighteenth-
and nineteenth-century material plus works by authors including Maria Edgeworth, E.
Nesbit, Rudyard Kipling, Richmal Crompton, Lynne Reid Banks, Michael Rosen and others.
The study also draws on Travis's previously unpublished interviews with authors including
Adele Geras, Eva Ibbotson, Ann Jungman and Judith Kerr."--Publisher's website
