Literary Passports

Zusatztext "The most eye-opening aspect of Pinsker's discussion of European-based Hebrew modernism as a sub-set of European modernism proves to be his detailing of the continuing presence of religious experience in this literature . . . Pinsker's book might just be a passport for a whole literature and its critics." Informationen zum Autor Shachar M. Pinsker is Associate Professor of Hebrew Literature and Culture at the University of Michigan. He is the co-editor of Hebrew, Gender and Modernity: Critical Responses to Dvora Baron's Fiction (2007). Klappentext "Literary Passports" is the first book to explore Hebrew modernist fiction in Europe in the early decades of the twentieth century. Zusammenfassung Literary Passports is the first book to explore modernist Hebrew fiction in Europe in the early decades of the twentieth century. It not only serves as an introduction to this important body of literature, but also acts as a major revisionist statement, freeing this literature from a Zionist-nationalist narrative and viewing it through the wider lens of new comparative studies in modernism. The book's central claim is that modernist Hebrew prose-fiction, as it emerged from 1900 to 1930, was shaped by the highly charged encounter of traditionally educated Jews with the revolution of European literature and culture known as modernism. The book deals with modernist Hebrew fiction as an urban phenomenon, explores the ways in which the genre dealt with issues of sexuality and gender, and examines its depictions of the complex relations between tradition, modernity, and religion.
