Description
Jewish Literature: A Very Short Introduction
This broad and thought-provoking introduction to Jewish literature from 1492 to the present explores its multilingual and transnational nature. Cultural historian Ilan Stavans presents a wide range of traditions within Jewish literature, highlighting the diverse writers who contributed to these traditions.
The story of Jewish literature is one of diversity and adaptation, spanning centuries and continents. From medieval Spain to modern-day Israel, this introduction examines the various accounts of horror during the Holocaust, the work of Israeli authors since 1948, and the "ingathering" of Jewish works in different parts of the world.
