• Sommario/riassunto: The Jew's daughter: a cultural history fo a conversion narrative takes a new look at the gendered difference of the Jew. Focusing on an overlooked narrative of "the Jew's daughter", this innovative study examines canonical and neglected texts that have constructed racialized and sexualized images that persist today in the media and popular culture ... Sicher provides a comparative perspective on the circulation of texts in the historical context of the perception of both Jews and women as marginal or outcasts in society. This book draws on the arts, history, literature, folklore, and theology to demonstrate the dynamics of Jewish-Christian relations around Europe from the twelfth century to 2017. (page [4] of cover)
