Felsenstein examines English cultural attitudes towards Jews during the longer eighteenth century, highlighting the persistence of negative stereotypes rooted in the late Middle Ages. He analyzes various primary sources, including chapbooks and pamphlets, to illustrate these biases. However, he notes a gradual shift towards more liberal views by the nineteenth century, indicating a slow decline of medieval beliefs about Jews in the collective imagination of English society.
