ABSTRACT This article examines the Jewish and Catholic experience of acceptance, rejection and discrimination in late nineteenth-century Britain through the lens of the celebrations of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in the summer of 1897. Arguing that the Anglo-Jewish and English Catholic hierarchical discourses created at the time of the Jubilee reveal the continuing profound insecurities felt by the minority leaderships, the article will dissect the various ‘stories’ created around the events of the Jubilee, particularly in London. It will consider in turn how narratives were created stressing Victoria’s personal role of liberator; how a premium was placed by the hierarchies on the different demographic strands of the minority communities behaving in aropriate ‘English’ class roles; and how this narrative was complicated – first by Irish nationalism and migrant Jewish radicalism, and secondly by the prejudices of the wider British establishment. Ultimately it will contend that the events of the Jubilee revealed a continued exclusion of Jewish and Catholic groups from the British ruling class, and that anti-Catholic sectarianism and antisemitism was not solely a matter of economic discrimination and physical violence against working-class communities, but also subtler forms of prejudice against more prosperous Jews and Catholics.

女王忠诚的“其他人”——大都会犹太人和天主教徒等级制度、公共出版社和 1897 年的钻石禧年

摘要 本文通过 1897 年夏天维多利亚女王的钻石禧年庆祝活动,考察了 19 世纪后期英国犹太人和天主教徒接受、拒绝和歧视的经历。在禧年之际,少数领导人仍然感到深深的不安全感,本文将剖析围绕禧年事件创造的各种“故事”,特别是在伦敦。它将依次考虑如何创建强调维多利亚个人解放者角色的叙事;等级制度如何重视少数民族社区的不同人口群体,他们扮演着不恰当的“英语”阶级角色;以及这种叙述是如何变得复杂的——首先是爱尔兰民族主义和移民犹太激进主义,其次是更广泛的英国建制派的偏见。最终,它将争辩说,禧年事件揭示了英国统治阶级继续排斥犹太和天主教团体,并且反天主教宗派主义和反犹太主义不仅仅是对工人阶级社区的经济歧视和身体暴力问题,但也存在对更富裕的犹太人和天主教徒的更微妙的偏见形式。
