Philip Roth's Postmodern American Romance: Critical Essays on Selected Works- Foreword by Derek Parker Royal
ISBN: 9781433105982 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 109 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The central thesis of this book is that Philip Roth s work is most accurately viewed as postmodernist American Historical Romance, rather than marginalized as Jewish-American. Four works are analyzed in relation to this thesis and to the specific idea that Roth s contribution is entirely within mainstream American literature and culture. Emphasizing the importance and influence of Hebrew Scripture, the author demonstrates that, paradoxically, Roth s Jewishness locates him squarely within the canon of (a Hebraic) America and its letters."

ISBN: 9780820457987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In this book, the German history of The Merchant of Venice highlights the Central European detour that Shakespearean reception underwent in Hebrew and Yiddish. Such a detour, with its various discomforts, is used to penetrate a current historical and political historiography, rendering Shylock a character that remembers various languages and locations, as well as multiple alternatives for political self-definition. This complex Shakespearean character speaks in many voices and for various purposes and is the only character that can provide the missing link between two contradictory...

Israeli Writing Against Itself: The Clash of Hellenism and Judaism in Modern Israeli Narrative
ISBN: 9780820442716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This comprehensive critique explores the relevancy of old discourses for contemporary narratives in ten Israeli novels. How the theory of deconstruction affects the future of a nation as presented in aspects of these literary texts is the focus of this book. The texts represent the meeting of ancient lore and modern narrative, as well as the conflict between a demanding past and the threat implied in an open future. The fragmentary quality of Israeli fiction denies the guarantee of unity and contravenes a fixed interpretative contextual discourse. The major tensions that call for a...
