Beiträge,x2192-9602 ;vvolume 53 aIncludes bibliographical references and index. aWilhelm Herzberg's novel Jewish Family Papers, which was first published under a pseudonym in 1868, was one of the bestselling German-Jewish books of the nineteenth century. Its numerous editions, reviews, and translations - into Dutch, English, and Hebrew - are ample proof of its impact. Herzberg's Jewish Family Papers picks up on some of the most central contemporary philosophical, religious, and social debates and discusses aspects such as emancipation, antisemitism, Jewishness and Judaism, nationalism, and the Christian religion and culture, as well as gender roles. So far, however, the novel has not received the scholarly attention it so assuredly deserves. This bilingual volume is the first attempt to acknowledge how this outstanding source can contribute to our understanding of German-Jewish literature and culture in the nineteenth century and beyond. Through interdisciplinary readings, it will discuss this forgotten bestseller, embedding it within various contemporary discourses: religion, literature, emancipation, nationalism, culture, transnationalism, gender, theology, and philosophy. 4aGerman literature y19th century.1 aHerrmann, Manja. 2lcccBK 00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oPT1101 .W55 2021pPNLIB21062850r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK c3037d3037
