Shylock Not A Jew is a book written by Maurice Packard and published in 1919. The book is a critical analysis of William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice, and challenges the common assumption that the character Shylock is a Jewish moneylender. Packard argues that there is no evidence in the play to support this claim, and suggests that Shylock may have been intended to represent a Christian usurer. The book also explores the historical context of the play, and the anti-Semitic attitudes prevalent in Elizabethan England. Shylock Not A Jew is a thought-provoking and controversial work that offers a fresh perspective on one of Shakespeare's most famous characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
