A work of fiction, among whose chief characters are a Jew and his daughter. This naturally invites comparison to Shakespeares' Merchant of Venice (peopled by the Jew Shylock and his daughter Jessica); and to Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (whose heroine is the Jewess Rebecca, daughter of Isaac of York).
