Excerpt from The Jew in English Fiction Since the year of the first publication of this study on the Jew in English fiction, quite a number of novels have appeared having Jews as prominent characters. I need mention only such books as Hall Caine's Scapegoat, Walter Besant's Rebel Queen and Lew Wallace's Prince of India. The temptation was great to include studies of these and other novels in this new edition, but many of the statements and criticisms already made in the chapters of this work apply also to these books, and, therefore, I concluded that it would be wiser not to dull the pages by repetition. However, another class of novels based on Jewish life has made its appearance in English literature during the past decade, viz., the so-called ghetto stories. These are written by Jews and constitute a distinct genre. It is proper, aye even necessary, that these tales be given full and careful consideration in a work on the Jew in English fiction.
