This paper explores the role and importance of Jewish financiers in the
City of London during the 19th and 20th centuries. It also attempts to
trace the public reaction to the presence of these Jewish financiers
using evidence gleaned from contemporary novels. Finally it tries to
explain the divergence between the contribution made by Jewish
financiers to the success of the City of London as a commercial and
financial centre, especially in the 19th century, and the continuing
hostility to their presence among the British public at the time. Cite This Article As: Michie RC (2014). Jewish Financiers in the City of London: Reality versus Rhetoric, 1830 – 1914. Acad. Res. J. Hist. Cult. 1(1): 1-14
