Notes on contributor

Sheila A. Spector is an independent scholar who has devoted much of her career to the intersection between British Romanticism and Judaica. To that end, she wrote Byron and the Jews (Wayne State UP, 2010), a study of Hebrew and Yiddish translations of Byron; and she compiled three collections of essays: British Romanticism and the Jews: History, Literature, Culture (Palgrave/Macmillan, 2002); The Jews and British Romanticism: Politics, Religion, Literature (Palgrave/Macmillan, 2005); and Romanticism/Judaica: A Convergence of Cultures (Ashgate, 2011). Finally, she edited Benjamin Disraeli’s “Jewish” novel Alroy (Romantic Circles Electronic Edition, 2005).
