Zusammenfassung

Explores the “Jewish question” in German literature from Lessing's Nathan der Weise in 1779 to Sessa's Unser Verkehr in 1815. Peter Erspamer analyses the transition from an enlightened emancipatory literature advocating tolerance in the late eighteenth century to an anti-Semitic literature with nationalistic overtones in the early nineteenth century.
