Nineteenth-Century Jewish Literature - A Reader

Zusatztext " Nineteenth-Century Jewish Literature is an unparalleled collection in contemporary literary studies: an anthology that recovers the earliest popular narratives that translated the Jewish experience into English, French, and German—and in the process taught the Jews reading them how to think of themselves as modern, European citizens. The challenges posed by how to negotiate Jewish traditions with modern culture(s) remain relevant today, and the subjects of such dilemmas—all of us—would learn much by considering these first responses."
