Synopsis:

The twentieth century brought significant changes for many Jews. Some of these were dramatic, even apocalyptic, while others were more gradual shifts in ways of life and worldviews. As traditional lifestyles eroded, Jews began to develop a new understanding of the divine and its place in their lives. Twentieth Century Jewish Literature examines how these radical changes manifested themselves in modern Jewish literature, by tracing the ways in which the Jewish writers of this period imagined and depicted the divine. In order to understand these writers' approach to the representation of God, it considers distinct strains in Jewish thought, which find their roots both within the Jewish culture and also come from outside Judaism. This book also locates the particular case of modern Jewish literature within the wider context of western literature and culture, exploring how modern Jewish literature can challenge scholarly assumptions of modernist traits in post-Christian western cultures and literatures. This book would be of interest to students and scholars of Religion and Literature, Jewish Studies, Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies and Modern Intellectual History.
