Judentum, Antisemitismus Und Deutschsprachige Literatur Vom 18. Jahrhundert Bis Zum Ersten Weltkrieg (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2012 ed.)

In this interdisciplinary symposium the thematic complex of Jewry and Judaism, anti-Semitism and German literature is presented and discussed from many different complementary aspects. The volume includes studies of direct statements on the subject by Jewish and non-Jewish authors as well as the indirect expression of 'Jewish' themes in entire genres (popular drama and popular novel, popular religious literature) and periods of literary history (Pietism, the Enlightenment, Weimar Classicism, Romanticism, the Vormarz). In each case the individual aspects are seen in reference to the overall context of the emancipation debate - including the discussion within the Jewish community as well as the diametrically opposed anti-Jewish discussion."
