Civil Antisemitism Modernism and British Culture 1902–1939

 This book sheds new light on ''civil antisemitism'' in twentieth-century Britain, a crucial and critically neglected strand of anti-Jewish rhetoric shaped by longstanding traditions of etiquette and civility. Focusing on the years prior to World War II, Trubowitz shows how civil antisemitism was essential both to the dissemination of proto-fascist political and literary discourses, and to structural and stylistic practices within literary modernism.
