Welcome to episode 25 of Ripe Good Scholar: Jewish people in Elizabethan England
In this episode…
We will explore the history of the Jewish people in England and across Europe. In addition, we will look at the stereotypes believed by Elizabethans and how it may have influenced Shakespeare as he wrote The Merchant of Venice. Today, Shylock is often depicted as a sympathetic character. However, this was not necessarily the case in Elizabethan England.
