This work aims to draw attention to the existence of a persisting and virtually unrecognized tradition of "philosemitism" which manifested itself in Britain and elsewhere in the English speaking world during every significant international outbreak of anti-semitism during the century after 1840, and to offer a typology of philosemitism, distinguishing between varieties of support for the Jewish people.

This authoritative and comprehensive guide to key people and events in Anglo-Jewish history stretches from Cromwell's re-admittance of the Jews in 1656 to the present day and contains nearly 3000 entries, the vast majority of which are not featured in any other sources.
