Lillian KremerWayne State University Press2018Detroit, Michigan :Wayne State University Press,[1989]©19891 online resource (392 pages)0-8143-4393-7 Criticism of Holocaust literature is an emerging field of inquiry, and as might be expected, the most innovative work has been concentrated on the vanguard of European and Israeli Holocaust literature. Now that American fiction has amassed an impressive and provocative Holocaust canon, the time is propitious for its evaluation. Witness Through the Imagination presents a critical reading of themes and stylistic strategies of major American Holocaust fiction to determine its capacity to render the prelude, progress, and aftermath of the Holocaust. The unifying critical approach is the textual explication of themes and literary method, occasional comparative references to international Holocaust literature, and a discussion of extra-literary Holocaust sources that have influenced the creative writers' treatment of the Holocaust universe.American fictionJewish authorsHistory and criticismThe HolocaustAmerican fictionJewish authorsHistory and criticism.813.54098924Kremer S.
