The Jew (play)
''The Jew'' is a comedy written by playwright Richard Cumberland and first presented at the Drury Lane Theatre in London in May 1794. The play is notable as the first play in the English theatre to portray a Jewish moneylender as the hero of a stage production. The anti-Jewish tradition on the English stage dates back at least to the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 and is exemplified by the characters of Shylock in William Shakespeare's ''The Merchant of Venice'' and Barabas in Christopher Marlowe's ''The Jew of Malta''. In a series of articles called ''Observer'', first published in 1785, Cumberland created a character named Abraham Abrahams who would later serve as a template for Sheva, the title character in ''The Jew''. In one instalment of ''Observer'', Abrahams is quoted as saying, "I verily believe the odious character of Shylock has brought little less persecution upon us, poor scattered sons of Abraham, than the Inquisition itself." A decade later, in writin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
