English as a Known Language: An Overlooked Book About 19th Century Transylvania

A perusal of an ignored book dedicated mainly to the second half of the 19th Century Transylvania makes up the following article. Its author, William James Tucker is quite unknown and seems to have authored just one book. To believe his own identification he was an English, teacher of English language, in search of a job in central Europe. He is nevertheless quite likely to have accepted a task out of which the book was issued, namely to check the degree of ethnic resentments mainly in Transylvania with a special stress on anti-semitism.
