Inhaltsangabe

Amy Judith Levy (1861–1889) was an English poet, novelist, and essayist. She was notably the first Jewish woman to study at Cambridge university, and she became well-known for her feminist positions as well as her romantic relationships with both male and female political and literature figures. First published in 1888, Levy's novel “Reuben Sachs - A Sketch” revolves around Reuben Sachs, who has political aspirations, and his partner Judith Quixano, who lacks money and social status. Set in the Anglo-Jewish community in Bayswater, “Reuben Sachs” is a feminist polemic within which Levy heavily criticises the empty lives led by contemporary women and what she considered to be the romanticised portrayal of Jews by such writers as George Eliot. Other works by this author include: “Xantippe and Other Verse” (1881), “The Romance of a Shop” (1888), and “Miss Meredith” (1889). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with an introductory biography of the author by Richard Garnett.
