History Imagined: The Holocaust in American Literature --Afterword --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThe creative literature that evolved from the Holocaust constitutes an unprecedented encounter between art and life. Those who wrote about the Holocaust were forced to extend the limits of their imaginations to encompass unspeakably violent extremes of human behavior. The result, as Ezrahi shows in By Words Alone, is a body of literature that transcends national and cultural boundaries and shares a spectrum of attitudes toward the concentration camps and the world beyond, toward the past and the future.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literatureLiterature, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismJewish literatureHistory and criticismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.Jewish literatureHistory and criticism.809.93358809/.93358Ezrahi Sidra DeKoven1672431MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821001603321By words alone4035776UNINA
