Why was Dickens accused of following antisemitic stereotypes in his writing?
<|assistant|>
In the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," published in 1884, Dickens portrays the character of the Jewish character, Abigail, as a sly and scheming villainess. Additionally, in his book "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ," published in 1848, Dickens refers to Jews as a "perverted people" who sought to crucify Jesus. These portrayals of Jews have been interpreted as antisemitic stereotypes by many critics.
