When should an historian analyze the assumptions which underlie his work, and when, if ever, is it incumbent on him to include in his work a discussion of the beliefs and procedures which have influenced his treatment of a subject? Recently historians, and in particular English medievalists, have been criticized for their anarchic empiricism; yet willingness to utilize any approach which promises concrete results, regardless of an integrated theoretical justification, is an attitude by no means limited to history but characteristic of many fields of detailed investigation in the natural and social sciences. By their fruits, as appraised by experts in the same field, shall their works be judged. There are times, however, when a broad historical subject is so narrowly treated that the result is tantamount to a philosophical statement, a statement, however implicit, that there is but one way of gaining valid knowledge of of men's past actions. We may then feel that the historian ought to have justified his procedure more explicitly, and we may be provoked to analyze and criticize the work, not for what has been said in it, but for what has not. This is especially true when the contrast between the dimensions of the subject and the limitations of a particular historian's vision throw his approach into high relief and incite the reader to examine the historian's conception of history. The English Jewry under Angevin Kings by H. G. Richardson is such a book because of its tone of certainty as to the proper path of history and because its subject cannot be domesticated to the calm conventions of professional habit.

4 Stenton, F. M., The First Century of English Feudalism (Oxford 1950) 1: ‘His strength lay in analysis rather than synthesis, in the power of his attack upon individual problems, and the insight with which he perceived the inadequacy of accepted explanations. In reality, his books are all collections of essays, and innumerable other essays, each making a definite addition to our knowledge of English feudalism, are scattered in periodicals….’; ibid. 4: ‘With the abstract ideas which lay behind English feudalism, with the nature of lordship or the significance of homage, he had little concern. Every problem which he approached was for him, as it had once been for the men with whose history he was dealing, a matter of local interest.’Google Scholar

6 Allport, Gordon W., The Nature of Prejudice (Boston 1954) 9: ‘Ethnic prejudice is an antipathy based upon a faulty and inflexible generalization. It may be felt or expressed. It may be directed toward a group as a whole, or toward an individual because he is a member of that group.’ For a recent summation of the problem see Marie Jahoda, ‘Relations raciales et santé mentale,’ Le racisme devant la science (UNESCO; Paris 1960). — In this article ‘anti-Semitism’ will be used for attitudes to Jews which depend upon false ideas about Jewish thoughts and actions which were, in principle, open to observation.Google Scholar

Attention to consciously held beliefs about Jews predominates over analysis of why those beliefs were so willingly accepted and maintained.Google Scholar

195 This is not meant to agree with the modified form of Roscher's theory accepted by Kisch (Jews in Medieval Germany 320–2 and bibliography there cited). In addition to the known monastic lending, the early importance of Christians as moneylenders, brought out by Richardson (English Jewry 50–55), raises strong doubts about the extent to which Jews pioneered in moneylending or non-Jews lacked the interest or ability to develop this activity at a very early stage. The differential effect of ecclesiastical and social disapprobation of moneylending on Christians and Jews is another question. But cf Cambridge Economic History of Europe II 303. Google Scholar
