Informationen zum Autor Ilana Pardes is professor of comparative literature at the Hebrew University! Jerusalem. Klappentext Explores the response of Israel's Nobel laureate S Y Agnon to the privileged position of the Song of Songs in Israeli culture. This book recasts Israeli biblicism as a peculiar chapter within the history of biblical exegesis. "This new study confirms Ilana Pardes as one of the most deeply interesting scholars in the field of comparative literature." --Robert Alter, University of California, Berkeley Zusammenfassung Standing at a unique crossroads between religion and secularism, Agnon probes the paradoxes and ambiguities of the Zionist hermeneutic project. With superb irony, Agnon's tales recast Israeli biblicism as a peculiar chapter within the ever-surprising history of biblical exegesis.
