RUSS 3750 - Jewish Identity in Modern Literature

Institution:

Tulane University of Louisiana

Subject:

Russian

Description:

Prof. Horowitz. In this course we will examine novels, short stories, essays, and other literary works by European Jewish authors and study their literary, cultural and political context. We trace the development of literary forms that provide the basis for a modern Jewish self-consciousness and a sense of cultural identity. We compare the concepts of community and individualism, religious reform, and cultural notions of identity in the writings of authors from Eastern European and Western Europe. We also examine the differences of Jews in Europe in the period before the Holocaust. (Same as JWST 375.)
