Teachers' Study Guide: Stereotypes in English Literature: Shylock and Fagin; The Jew in the Middle Ages. The Image of the Jew in Literature.
Mersand, Joseph; And Others
The position of the Jew in the Middle Ages and the Jewish stereotype as it appears in "The Merchant of Venice" and "Oliver Twist" are the subjects of this publication. An introductory essay analyzes the characters of Shylock and Fagin, and a study guide continues this discussion and presents suggested classroom activities, discussion topics, and a bibliography for teachers and students. A 4-week model instructional unit presents a narrower range of specific learning activities, evaluation techniques for the teacher, and a listing of books, movies, recordings, and other enrichment aids. A concluding two-part essay summarizes Jewish history in the Middle Ages and the evolution of the Jewish stereotype in that period. (LH)
