Research Abstract

The purpose of our research was to find out what made the Jewish community in Britain, particularly that of East End, so unique and distinguished from other Jewish communities in the world, and consequently how this unique nature was reflected in British Jewish literature.
We have investigated, first of all, the historical background in connection with the development of the Jewish community in East End into which the waves of Jewish people had migrated since the turn of the 19^<th> century. East End was to be tinted with Jewish culture. Particularly its street culture, Yiddish culture if you like, was blended with native cockney culture, which resulted in the production of the strikingly new urban culture.
This rich Jewish cultural tradition was best represented in drama and Robert Cross investigated the specific nature of British Jewish playwrights with special attention to Steven Berkoff in his enlightening article which is included in our final report. Tetsuya Taguchi, on the other hand, elucidated the way the Jewish culture assimilated itself into British culture in terms of ethnic relations and concluded that the Jewish experiment contributed a great deal to the making of today's multi-ethnic and multi-cultural urban imagination in Britain.
