The People of the Book by Gertrude Himmelfarb
The history of Judaism has for too long been dominated by the theme of anti-Semitism, reducing Judaism to the recurrent saga of persecution and the struggle for survival. This book reaffirms Jews in their own faith and aspirations.
Gertrude Himmelfarb, professor emeritus at the Graduate School of the City University, has written extensively on intellectual and cultural history with a focus on Victorian England. Her most recent books are The Jewish Odyssey of George Eliot, The Moral Imagination: From Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling, and The Roads to Modernity: The British, French, and American Enlightenments. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2004 she received the National Humanities Medal awarded by the President.
