Anthony Julius talks about life, work and his new book Trials of the Diaspora.
This is an essential history and so it's fortunate it has been written by a man with the extraordinary fluency, staggering erudition, scholarly integrity, intellectual acumen, and moral discernment of Anthony Julius.
Philip Roth
Anthony Julius is a highly regarded litigation lawyer specialising in media law and defamation. Best-known for his successful defence of Penguin Books and historian Deborah Lipstadt in the libel case brought by David Irving, Anthony continues to be a consultant and senior solicitor advocate at the London law firm Mishcon de Reya.
He is chairman of the London Consortium, and Vice-President of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, of which he was a founder. Anthony is also a visiting professor in law and literature at Birkbeck College, and has published several academic books, including the ground-breaking TS Eliot, Anti Semitism and Literary Form (1995) His latest publication, Trials of the Diaspora is a ground-breaking book that offers the first ever comprehensive history of anti-Semitism in England.
This book, the first history of its kind, is sure to provoke much comment and debate, and comes as a timely reminder that English culture has been in no way immune to anti-Semitism and in certain ways is still not to this day.
