Beschreibung:
Keepers of the Motherland is the first comprehensive study of German and Austrian Jewish women authors. Dagmar Lorenz begins with an examination of the Yiddish author Glikl Hamil, whose works date from the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and proceeds through such contemporary writers as Grete Weil, Katja Behrens, and Ruth Klüger. Along the way she examines an extraordinary range of distinguished authors, including Else Lasker-Schüler, Rosa Luxemburg, Nelly Sachs, and Gertrud Kolmar.
A comprehensive study of German and Austrian Jewish women authors. It highlights the author's individualities with sustained attention to the ways in which they all reflect upon their identities as Jews and women. Combining careful research with inspired synthesis, it provides a work for students of German, Jewish, and women's writings.
