What does the Jew stand for in modern culture? The conscious or unconscious, often hysterical repetition of myths and exaggerations, and the repertory of cliches, fantasies and phobias surrounding the stereotypes of the Jew and the Jewess, have meant that they are figures frequently represented both in the world of literature and art and in the industries of popular culture.

The first volume in this series focuses on aspects of Realism, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in Paris between 1848 and 1900. The book demonstrates how some historians view this art as representative of the social, historical and economic circumstances in which it was produced.
