Set in shifting historical contexts and literary debates ? the notion of the German vernacular nation, Hebraism and Jewish Revival in Weimar Germany, the crisis of language in modernist literature, and the fledgling multilingual communities in Jerusalem, the writings of Scholem, Kraft and Strauss emerge as unique forms of counterlanguage. The three chapters of the book are dedicated to Scholem?s Hebraist lamentation, Kraft?s Germanist steadfastness and Strauss?s polyglot dialogue, respectively. The examination of their correspondences, diaries, scholarship and literary oeuvres demonstrates how counteractive writing practices helped confront concrete and metaphorical crises of language to produce compelling alternatives to literary silence, amnesia or paralysis that were prompted by cultural marginality and dislocation. 606 $aGerman literature$xJewish authors 606 $aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 615 0$aGerman literature$xJewish authors. 615 0$aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 676 $a830.80892409436 686 $aBD 6661$2rvk 700 $aBarouch$b Lina$01671040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814165603321 996 $aBetween German and Hebrew$94033292 997 $aUNINA
