Maria Polack’s Fiction Without Romance; or, The Locket-Watch (1830), a Digital Edition with introductory essay and notes. Fiction Without Romance is the first novel published by an English Jew. Using the TEI, this edition will make Polack’s novel accessible and searchable, and will situate the text amidst prominent nineteenth-century Jewish communities in London, Southwest England (Falmouth, Plymouth and Exeter), and Jamaica. Maria Polack lived in the East End of London and included portraits of her community in her novel.

The Voice of Jacob, a Digital Edition with introductory essay, notes, and visualization. This periodical (1841-7) was the first significant Anglo-Jewish paper in England. Currently this text is being marked up in TEI. Once complete the markup will trace Anglo-Jewish readers and contributors to this paper throughout London and Jamaica.
