Product Description

Jewish Americans produced some of the most important writing in the U.S. in the twentieth century. This Companion addresses the distinctive Jewish American contribution to American literary criticism, poetry and popular culture. It establishes the broadest possible context for the discussion of Jewish American identity as it intersects with the corpus of American literature. Featuring a chronology and guide to further reading, the volume is valuable to scholars and students alike.

Jewish American Literature Finding its Place 24 Nov 2005
By Leah Michelson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I think that this book is an amazing attempt to do the impossible- to really define what Jewish American Literature is and can be.

Allen Hoffman, author of "Small Worlds" and "Two for the Devil" says that Jewish Literature is "whatever makes you reach for the herring."

The authors of this compilation take it a little further and really get into the heart of Jewish writing. If you want to understand Jewish culture, Jewish literature, or American minority literature, this book is a must-read.
