Whitechapel Boys

The name Whitechapel Boys identifies a loosely-knit 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 Mark Gertler, Isaac Rosenberg, David Bomberg, Joseph Leftwich, Jacob Kramer, Stephen Winsten, John Rodker and its only female member, Clare Winsten (Clara Birnberg).

The name is modern, not a contemporary one, originating later in the 20th century.
