Aguilar's writing responds to English representations of Jews and women by writers such as Felicia Hemans, Maria Edgeworth, Sir Walter Scott, and Thomas Macaulay. She both assimilates and alters the genres of historical romance, dramatic monologue, domestic fiction, history, and midrash, among others.This edition includes Aguilar's novella The Perez Family in its entirety; the Sephardic historical romance 'The Escape,' her Sephardic historical romance, 'History of the Jews in England,' the first such history ever written by a Jew; major poems; excerpts from The Women of Israel; and Aguilar's Frankfurt journal, never before published. Also included are primary source materials such as writings on 'the Jewish question' from Aguilar's non-Jewish contemporaries, tributes and memoirs, and contemporary responses to her work.…
