N2 - Prior to 1820, few Anglo-Jewish romantic period women writers in England are known to have published literature. The conditions under which Jewish women would have been actively publishing in the United Kingdom positioned them to align with Romanticism’s themes of self-awareness and identity, especially in the context of navigating sensibilities of belonging and alienation. The work of such expressions reverberate, albeit unevenly, from the impulse to authentically connect Jewish life and culture with the prominently Christian milieu of values that defined British nationhood. By the mid-nineteenth century, approximately 60,000 Jews lived in England; that number quadrupled by the fin de siecle. Before 1820, three Jewish women are known to have been actively publishing in the United Kingdom:); Emma Henry Lyon (1788-1870); Charlotte King (c.1772-1825); and her sister, Sophia King, later Fortnum (b. 1782).
