Romantic novels taught Jewish readers the rules of romance and the choreography of courtship. But because these new conceptions of romance were rooted in the Christian and chivalric traditions, the Jewish embrace of "the love religion" was always partial. In The Marriage Plot, Naomi Seidman considers the evolution of Jewish love and marriage though the literature that provided Jews with a sentimental education, highlighting a persistent ambivalence in the Jewish adoption of European romantic ideologies. Nineteenth-century Hebrew and Yiddish literature tempered romantic love with the claims of family and community, and treated the rules of gender complementarity as comedic fodder. Twentieth-century Jewish writers turned back to tradition, finding pleasures in matchmaking, intergenerational ties, and sexual segregation. In the modern Jewish voices of Sigmund Freud, Erica Jong, Philip Roth, and Tony Kushner, the Jewish heretical challenge to the European romantic sublime has become the central sexual ideology of our time. 410 0$aStanford studies in Jewish history and culture. 606 $aJewish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJewish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJewish marriage customs and rites$xHistory 606 $aMarriage customs and rites in literature 606 $aLove in literature 606 $aSex in literature 615 0$aJewish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJewish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJewish marriage customs and rites$xHistory. 615 0$aMarriage customs and rites in literature. 615 0$aLove in literature. 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a809.88924 700 $aSeidman$b Naomi$01115411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815427503321 996 $aThe marriage plot$93981825 997 $aUNINA
