July issue of Psychiatric Times will carry my review/essay on MERCHANT
OF VENICE (the film) -- THE THING ITSELF -- which was written with the
input of many SHAKSPERwrites. For which relief, much thanks.

Another place to look for medieval antecedents is Jeremy Cohen, The
Friars and the Jews (1982, 1984).

Try the "Texts and Contexts" edition of the play
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312294336/qid=1118861290/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/103-7141507-1600621?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).
This terrific edition features primary source materials from
Shakespeare's day, covering a variety of thematic topics including
anti-Semitism, which are highly illuminating.
Also, I just finished directing Merchant, and found myself making the
following point to audiences during our talk-back sessions: although the
vast majority of Shakespeare's audience was probably anti-Semitic, they
were certainly no strangers to religious persecution and forced
conversion. I cannot believe that Shylock's fate at the trial scene was
intended as a purely comic moment. So, as with everything in this
wonderfully complex play, "may the outward shows be least themselves."
Cheers,
Diane

Have you looked at James Shapiro's "Shakespeare and the Jews"?
