psychic suffocation, of Siddall. H.D.’s radically introverted Siddall, haunted by her own dreamworld, bears keen affinities with protagonists representing H.D. in her autobiographical novels; and H.D.’s constructions of PRB figures – such as the extravagant, bullying, charismatic Rossetti – resonate with H.D.’s portrayals elsewhere of the ‘héros fatals’ in her life such as Pound and D.H. Lawrence. White Rose, like three other novels of H.D.’s World War II period published by University of Florida Press since 2009, bears the marks of a period when H.D. intensified her study of spiritualism, reading it as an avenue toward cultural healing. White Rose portrays the Brotherhood as engaged in séances, enthralled by messages from the beyond, and it suggests that Siddall captivated the PRB in part by positioning herself as clairvoyant. Given H.D.’s intricate fictional engagement with such historical material, the edition would have benefited from glosses, but Halsall deliberately eschews them to allow readers to encounter the novel ‘as a novel.’ Halsall’s skilful introduction credits H.D. with importantly resituating Siddall at the ‘epistemological center’ of this narrative and adroitly presents H.D.’s work for new readers. Her commentary might only have recognized somewhat more the weight H.D. accords a lengthy section in the novel on a romance between Siddall and Morris (H.D.’s invention): as Siddall’s imaginative ramblings, sometimes suggesting psychic unravelling, are treated by Morris as the oracular utterances of a Pythia, the novel implicitly raises the question of how much feminist agency can be attributed to this Siddall, aspiring visionary lost in a Victorian-medieval fantasy world. H.D. often grappled with the question of how visionary experience stood in relation to feminist work: here she reckons eloquently with this problem through this often poignant account of Siddall’s journey. (MIRANDA HICKMAN) Terence L. Donaldson. Jews and Anti-Judaism in the New Testament Baylor University Press 2010 . 198 .$ 24 . 95 The question of anti-Semitism or, more accurately, anti-Judaism in the New Testament has a long history. In the ecumenical age of Jewish- Christian relations, this question becomes central, even paramount. Yet the terms of the question are often under-theorized or under-historicized. That is, in most circles today, believing and practising Christians want their scripture not to be anti-Judaic (much less anti-Semitic) but the authors of those scriptures and many of their interpreters had no such preference or inclination. The initial problem with another book on this subject is that so much has already been written it is hard to find a new angle worthy of yet another study. Terence Donaldson, a seasoned scholar in New Testament studies, has attempted, and in my view succeeded, to do just that.
