This period is one of crucial social change in Britain. At the same time, Dr. Sicher raises serious questions about the modern writer's cultural and ethnic identity. In this process, Dr. Sicher advances the thesis that, under the impetus of the Holocaust, the more traditional conflict between Jewish roots and assimilation has been succeeded by a reassessment of identity and morality. Dr. Sicher's perspective on this particular period of literature is a highly original one and it should provoke creative reconsideration of other contexts and times as well.SUNY series on modern Jewish literature and culture.English literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticismEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismJews in literatureEnglish literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.Jews in literature.820/.9/8924Sicher Efraim596561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964207203321Beyond marginality4347621UNINA
