Extract
This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of thinking and writing about Anglo-Jewish history. When I began graduate work in the early 1970s, there was almost no interest in the subject in the academy, even in England. This is no longer true. The writing of Anglo-Jewish history has flourished in the last two decades and has become one of the liveliest areas in modern Jewish history. My own work has benefited from its maturation, and this book is very much in debt to those who championed its cause. Their work stimulated my thinking and caused me repeatedly to temper, if not revise, my views. Indeed, this book would have been much poorer without the ongoing discussion stimulated by their work. In particular, I want to express my gratitude to David Cesarani, Bryan Cheyette, David Feldman, Anne Kershen, Tony Kushner, and William Rubinstein for their contribution to the shape this book took. On numerous trips to England, I have enjoyed their company and their hospitality, as well as that of their families. David Sorkin, who edits this series, and Sheldon Rothblatt, who first taught me how to do history at Berkeley, read the book with their usual care and insight, and I am indebted to them for their comments. I also wish to express my thanks to the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and its former president, Bernard Wasserstein, for awarding me a Skirball Visiting Fellowship in 1999. The Lucius N. Littauer Foundation of New York and the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan funded summer research trips to England. I also wish to acknowledge the help I received from my children, Michael and Flora, who at various times in their college years spent part of their summer vacations searching the pages of the London Jewish Chronicle for material for this book. Judy tolerated my absence from Ann Arbor on many occasions and, while I was comfortably at work in English archives and libraries, faced blizzards, power failures, and other crises around the house on her own. For this and countless other things as well, I am, as always, indebted to her.
