Jews appeared in various shapes and functions in literary, satirical, and educational texts, which did not exist independently from the distinctly anti-Jewish political, theological, and legal discourse which aimed at preventing Emancipation for most of the century. For most readers – and theatre audiences – the Jewish figures personified and staged something they usually did not know as real people but as an abstract threat discussed in newspaper articles, sermons, and books. Within this framework, even those texts which do not bear distinctly antisemitic features played a background role of “creating a problem”: Jews were much more present in writings than they ever were in real life, and a Swedish, mainly urban, public became used to seeing Jews as a distinctive group which was constantly being debated. On the theatre stage, Jews were usually people to laugh at. Both Jewish and non-Jewish authors were present in the vast field of entertaining literature, most of the former translated from German.While a thorough investigation of the differences between Jewish and non-Jewish perspectives on, for example, the culture of Orthodox Jews in Galicia would be important for questions of style, self-representation, and the situation of Jews in the German lands and the Habsburg Empire, these differences were not particularly relevant in Sweden. It is doubtful whether Swedish readers knew that Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was Christian, while Karl-Emil Franzos was Jewish, when both described an East European Jewish culture which in Swedish newspaper articles had already been presented as utterly foreign, filthy, and outdated. The following short overview of literary texts with Jewish themes will show that regardless of the intention and origin of the authors, Jews were considered an interesting topic in nineteenth-century Sweden, and that most of the Jewish figures in operas, plays, and novels were portrayed stereotypically: angry and strict fathers, beautiful and silent daughters, greedy moneylenders, outwitted businessmen. As early as 1801, a first edition of Richard Cumberland’s play was published in a loose Swedish translation. Juden. Komedi i 5 akter was staged numerous times in the nineteenth century. The play had already been successful in England, where the text originated, and was equally popular in its Swedish translation; though mainly on the stage, as the first edition of the text was not followed by subsequent editions. In the German lands, one of the popular actors interpret-","PeriodicalId":213251,"journal":{"name":"The Medieval Archive of Antisemitism in Nineteenth-Century Sweden","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130251395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars have only recently started to question the traditional view in which the Nordic Reformations heralded a sudden and complete change of religious system.80 Analyses of prayer books, visitation protocols, and church inventories have, however, shown that Catholic rites, adoration of relics, and side altars, as well as saints, were in use well into the eighteenth century. Many people in Sweden may have practised a form of denominational syncretism for centuries, sometimes with the blessing of the Lutheran State Church – “sometimes” because in other cases the State Church rigorously enforced religious homogeneity.81 Just as Catholic rituals and symbols remained not only intelligible, but were used on a daily basis, medieval Catholic anti-Judaism also remained intelligible and continued to be considered valid after the Reformation – this is probably one of the reasons why the reformers did not have to focus on this topic specifically. Even though transubstantiation was no longer an issue that could be invoked in accusations of host desecration, most other medieval religious tropes remained: the accusation of deicide, of torturing and mocking Christ, the alleged connection between Jews and bloodthirst, as well as greed and generally bad character traits. That Jews killed Jesus Christ has been one of the most deadly allegations made by the Christian side – one that has been repeated in many different narratives and versions. Originally deriving from early Christian (mis)readings of the Gospels, the concept of deicidal Jews flourished during the Middle Ages, resulting in a widespread, general idea that Jews like to kill people. Ritual murder accusations were only one extreme and specific outcome of this belief, closely con-","PeriodicalId":213251,"journal":{"name":"The Medieval Archive of Antisemitism in Nineteenth-Century Sweden","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131490224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
