A Phoenix in Fetters: Studies in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Hebrew Fiction
(Between the French Revolution and World War I, Hebrew lit...)
Between the French Revolution and World War I, Hebrew literature experienced a veritable renaissance, first in Central Europe and then in Eastern Europe. Its vigorous search for new modes of expression played a major role in the revival of Hebrew as a living language. In A Phoenix in Fetters, David Patterson describes the extraordinary paradox affecting Hebrew literature in the 19th century. On the one hand it aspired to serve as a conduit for the Jews of eastern Europe from the medieval to the modern world. On the other hand, it embraced a theory of literature that artificially restricted its development. The paradox was resolved only in the first decades of the 20th century.

Tradition And Trauma: Studies In The Fiction Of S. J. Agnon (Modern Hebrew Classics)
(The fascination and enigma of Agnon's work is the inspira...)
The fascination and enigma of Agnon's work is the inspiration for studies in this volume, which illustrate the importance of a writer who remains perhaps the central figure in Hebrew literature, but who has not gained prominence on the larger stage of world literature. The research and analyses collected in this book aim to foster an understanding and appreciation of Agnon's work amongst the English-reading public.
