Description:
This book-series, initiated in 1992, has an interdisciplinary orientation; it comprises research monographs, collections of essays and annotated editions from the 18th century to the present.
The term German-Jewish literature refers to the literary work of Jewish authors writing in German to the extent that Jewish aspects can be identified in these. However, the image of Jews among non-Jewish authors, often determined by anti-Semitism, is also a factor in the history of German-Jewish relations as reflected in literature. This series provides an appropriate forum for research into the whole problematic area.
Review Quotes:
"The Merchant of Venice treibt ein gefährliches Spiel. Das Stück ruft Antisemitismus hervor, um ihn zu bekämpfen." Ob dies, falls es stimmt, jemals gelingen konnte, ist ein zentrales Thema dieses Buchs."
