In Harrington, we delve into the life of the titular character as he embarks on a journey to unpack his complex feelings towards Jews. The story unfolds with Harringtons early perceptions shaped by tales from his maid about a figure named Simon the Jew, further reinforced by his parents troubling reinforcement of his antisemitic views. However, everything shifts when Harrington attends public school and encounters the ruthless bully Mowbray, whose torment of a Jewish peddler named Jacob forces Harrington to confront his biases. The arrival of Berenice Montenero, an American Jew who relocates to England with her affluent father, adds further layers to Harringtons evolving understanding. Join us as we explore themes of prejudice, identity, and redemption. (Summary by Michele Eaton)Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Science Social Sciences Spirituality
