Abstract:
The British Orientalist Richard Burton wrote a violently antisemitic essay in 1872 on his return from Damascus. It was published posthumously in 1898, in censored form, as part of his "The Jew, the Gipsy and El-Islam." Burton believed that his recall was engineered by the Jews of Damascus, whose dubious financial dealings he had refused to protect, and who had used the influence of important British Jews against him.
