Klappentext Reimagining the Bible collects a dozen essays by Howard Schwartz. Together the essays present a coherent theory of the way in which each successive phase of Jewish literature has drawn upon and reimagined the previous ones. The book is organized into four sections: The Ancient Models; The Folk Tradition; Mythic Echoes; Modern Jewish Literature and the Ancient Models. Within these divisions! each of the essays focuses on a specific genre! ranging from Torah and Aggadah to Kabbalah! fairy tales! and the modern Yiddish stories of S.Y. Agnon and Isaac Bashevis Singer. Arguing the important thesis that there is a continuity in Jewish literature which extends from the Biblical era to our own times! over a period of more than 3!000 years! this collection also serves as a guide to the history of that literature! and to the genres it comprises.
