Whitechapel Boys

Whitechapel Boys

The Whitechapel Boys is a name given to a group of Anglo-Jewish writers and artists of the early 20th century. It is named after Whitechapel, which contained one of London's main Jewish settlements and from which many of its members came. These members included Isaac Rosenberg, David Bomberg, Joseph Leftwich, Stephen Winsten, John Rodker and its only female member, Clare Winsten (Clara Birnberg).
