Based on theoretical sources on the subject, the book establishes the criteria of dual cultural affiliation, and in a survey of Russian-Jewish literature presents the pitfalls of assimilation and discusses different forms of anti-Semitism. After showing the oeuvre of 18 representative authors as a whole, the book analyzes a number of characteristic novels and short stories in terms of contemporary literary studies. Many texts discussed have not been reprinted since their first publication. The material offers indispensable information not only for comparative and literary studies but for multicultural, historical, ethnographic, Judaist, religious and linguistic investigations as well.Russian literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticismRussian prose literature19th centuryHistory and criticismRussian prose literature20th centuryHistory and criticismJewish authors, Jewish studies, Jews, Literature, Russian Empire, Soviet Union, Yiddish.Russian literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticism.Russian prose literatureHistory and criticism.Russian prose literatureHistory and criticism.891.709/8924Hetényi Zsuzsa1016745MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777874803321In a maelstrom2380606UNINA
