The Cambridge Companion to Jewish American Literature addresses a wide array of themes and approaches to the distinct yet multifaceted body of Jewish American literature. Essays examine writing from the 1700s to major contemporary writers such as Saul Bellow and Philip Roth. Topics covered include literary history, immigration and acculturation, Yiddish and Hebrew literature, popular culture, women writers, literary theory and poetics, multilingualism, the Holocaust, and contemporary fiction. This collection of specially commissioned essays by leading figures discusses Jewish American literature in relation to ethnicity, religion, politics, race, gender, ideology, history, and ethics, and places it in the contexts of both Jewish and American writing. With its chronology and guides to further reading, this volume will prove valuable to scholars and students alike. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 606 $aJudaism and literature$zUnited States 606 $aJudaism in literature 606 $aJews in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJudaism and literature 615 0$aJudaism in literature. 615 0$aJews in literature. 676 $a810.9/8924 702 $aWirth-Nesher$b Hana$f1948- 702 $aKramer$b Michael P.$f1952- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996217493903316 996 $aCambridge companion to Jewish American literature$91020300 997 $aUNISA
