Strangers At Home - Jews in the Italian Literary Imagination

Lynn Gunzberg explores the representation of Jews in novels and poetry written by non-Jews from the beginning of the Risorgimento in the early 1800s to the enactment of the Fascist racial laws in 1938.

Summary

Explores the representation of Jews in novels and poetry written by non-Jews from the beginning of the Risorgimento in the early 1800s to the enactment of the Fascist racial laws in 1938. This title shows how the literature of that period contradicts the belief that anti-Semitism simply did not exist in Italy until late in the Fascist period.
