Recenzii
'At the heart of Constructions of 'the Jew' is the admirable attempt to locate concerns of 'race' not at the margins of English literature, but at its very centre … Cheyette brings together issues connected with 'race', culture, history and writing in a fascinating way … This is analysis at the cutting edge of the interface between literature and politics.' Max Silverman, New Statesman & Society
'To read this book is to be reminded that even the stalest dust can still be noxious.' Frederic Raphael, Spectator
'A new, ground-breaking study … a new way of reading the image of 'the Jew' in British high culture as well as Jewish high culture in Britain, and the author and Cambridge University Press are both to be commended for it.' Sander L. Gilman, Jewish Quarterly.
'Cheyette gives a scrupulous account of the much-discussed anti-Semitic representations in Eliot's poetry.' Patrick Parrinder, London Review of Books
'Rather than poetic licence, Cheyette relies on impressive scholarship to see well beyond the usual stereotypes of the anti-Semitic writer.' Clive Sinclair, Jewish Chronicle

Descriere
Bryan Cheyette argues that 'the Jew' lies at the heart of modern English literature and society: not as a fixed stereotype, but as the embodiment of confusion and indeterminacy.
