Viennese Jewish modernism : Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler

"Gillman's book is as rich and paradoxical as Jewish assimilation itself, for the author is at once telling a particularly Jewish and a larger European story of aesthetic, cultural, and sometimes even political engagement with tradition." -- William Donahue "Gillman has provided a pathbreaking work that consolidates the insights of recent secondary literature on Jewish experience in the fin-de-siEcle and establishes 'Jewish' modernism. Her book will be read with interest by scholars of literature, modernism, Jewish studies, and cultural theory."--Timothy E. Pytell, H-Net Reviews "Viennese Jewish Modernism is a major accomplishment and provides a wealth of new ideas and information."--Alison Rose, Journal of Jewish Identities "Viennese Jewish Modernism productively engages German Studies, literary theory, and (Viennese) Judaica on several sophisticated levels. Further, it serves both as a contribution to reappraisals of fin de siEcle Modernism and a useful interpretive companion to less familiar or critically ignored works by the authors listed in its title."--Daniel C. Villanueva, Rocky Mountain Review "Argued with verve and originality, this book calls for a 'more inclusive understanding of the place of Jewish writing' in the modernist tradition. Illustrations and notes, including the German originals of the passages cited, add to the book's appeal."--E. Wickersham, Choice "[Gillman] has created a fine de siEcle for our own time, a reinterpretive historical hologram like that of the writers she discusses."--Margaret Olin, Modern Philology Gillman has provided a pathbreaking work that consolidates the insights of recent secondary literature on Jewish experience in the fin-de-siecle and establishes Jewish modernism.
