Land, Dorf, Kehilla: "Landjudentum" in Der Deutschen Und Deutsch-Jüdischen Erzählliteratur Bis 1918
Book information
Description
For secular, well-educated society, the countryside has always been a projection screen for desires and aversions. Almut Laufer examines the narrative traces left by rural Jewish communities by considering the texts of non-Jewish authors of the late Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment and the stories of Jewish authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries that reflect inner Jewish discourse.
