Abstract:
This bachelor thesis deals with the representation of Jewishness in selected works of Richard Cumberland. The theoretical part is divided into two chapters. The focus of the first chapter is on the history and culture of the Jewish minority in Britain. The second part contains an introduction to the traditional way Jewish characters are represented within British literature. The differences between the representation of Jewish characters in Richard Cumberland's writing and the Jewish stereotypes within English literature are analysed in the practical part of the thesis.
