[quote=Anonymous] People talk about offensive portrayals in GWTW, but what truly shocks me is the casual racism and anti-semitism in British 19th century literature. It is striking because these books always have Christian moralizing and plots that reward the good, honest and kind protagonists. It still seems so discordant that the authors (despite knowing what was happening in British Colonies and that Jews were shunned in polite society) weren’t somehow more enlightened.[/quote]
