Abstract

The circumstances surrounding the founding of the Jewish Chronicle have been ably discussed by David Cesarani in his The Jewish Chronicle and AngloJewry, 1841–1991 and by the author (probably Cecil Roth) of the Jewish Chronicle’s centenary history.1 As far as possible I will avoid repeating these accounts, which concentrated on the editors and proprietors. Instead, my main purpose is to provide a history of the Anglo-Jewish periodical press from a different perspective by placing three Jewish periodicals – the Voice of Jacob and two Jewish Chronicles – firmly in the context of periodical publishing in London in the 1840s.
