Abstract

Abstract:Little has been written on the figure of the Jew in traditional European fairy tales. Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book (1889) opens with a little-known fairy tale, "The Bronze Ring," which features a wicked, sorcerous Jew as an antagonist. This essay examines the publication history of this tale and places the figure of the wicked Jewish magician in the context of traditional European Christian antisemitism as well as that of the British reaction to the waves of Ashkenazic Jewish immigration to England in the late nineteenth century. I conclude with a consideration of the role this story plays in the imperialist project of the colored fairy books.

蓝色童话《青铜戒指》中的犹太人恶棍

摘要：欧洲传统童话中关于犹太人形象的描写很少。安德鲁·朗的《蓝色童话》（1889年）以一个鲜为人知的童话故事《青铜戒指》开篇，讲述了一个邪恶、肮脏的犹太人作为对手的故事。本文考察了这个故事的出版历史，并将邪恶的犹太魔术师的形象置于传统的欧洲基督教反犹太主义以及英国对19世纪末阿什肯纳兹犹太人移民英国浪潮的反应的背景下。最后，我想一想这个故事在帝国主义的彩色童话计划中扮演的角色。
