Synopsis
Biberman (English, U. of Louisville, Kentucky) fashions a broad thesis for linking banal, garden-variety antisemitism of the contemporary cultured type to its more virulent incarnations. He shows how the related ideologies of antisemitism and antifeminism emerged during the Renaissance, but spread only slowly and did not fully take shape and gain dominance within European culture until as late as the 19th century. His topics include representation of Jewish women in English Renaissance drama; divorce law and violence in Jonson, Cary, and Milton; and the Gothic reconstruction of the Jew-Devil.
