‘A Curst Little Jew from Duke’s Place’: Daniel Mendoza and the Folkloric Representation of the Jew in Georgian England

Abstract At the end of the eighteenth century, Daniel Mendoza (1764–1836), a five-feet-seven, 160-pound bare-knuckle Jewish fighter, rose to become the world’s heavyweight champion; England’s first sports superstar; the author of the first book on boxing theory, The Modern Art of Boxing (1789), and of the first sports memoir in history, The Memoirs of the Life of Daniel Mendoza (1813); and the first Jew to shake the hand of an English king. This article examines the role that three folkloric communications—a mock-heroic epic, The Odiad (1788); an epistolary sparring contest; and an urban popular ballad—played in shaping his public identity in the boxing community and, consequently, in shaping the place of Jews in late eighteenth-century Georgian social life.

期刊介绍： A fully peer-reviewed international journal of folklore and folkloristics. Folklore is one of the earliest journals in the field of folkloristics, first published as The Folk-Lore Record in 1878. Folklore publishes ethnographical and analytical essays on vernacular culture worldwide, specializing in traditional narrative, language, music, song, dance, drama, foodways, medicine, arts and crafts, popular religion, and belief. It reviews current studies in a wide range of adjacent disciplines including anthropology, cultural studies, ethnology, history, literature, and religion. Folklore prides itself on its special mix of reviews, analysis, ethnography, and debate; its combination of European and North American approaches to the study of folklore; and its coverage not only of the materials and processes of folklore, but also of the history, methods, and theory of folkloristics. Folklore aims to be lively, informative and accessible, while maintaining high standards of scholarship.
