Abstract
In conclusion, the gentile attitude towards the Jews has varied throughout the ages,from the beginning of the Middle Ages all the way to the twentieth century. Throughout the centuries, this variation has been due to different factors: religious, commercial,cultural, political, and racial. It is because of these differing attitudes towards the Jews that the terms „Anti-Semitism‟, „Philo-Semitism‟, and „Allo-Semitism‟ were coined. The difference between anti-Semitism and Judeophobia lies in the fact that the latter is based on religious reasons while the former is based on racial reasons; „Anti-Semitism‟ was actually coined in the nineteenth century because of the appearance of racial theories.
This thesis discusses the history of the gentile attitude towards the Jews from the Middle Ages till the nineteenth century. It then focuses on the attitude towards the Jews in the nineteenth century through the works of four British writers: Maria Edgeworth, Sir Walter Scott, charles Reade, and Anthony Trollope.
