Beschreibung

The Jew, the Beauty, and the Beast critically examines the entanglements between Jewishness, gender, and animality in modernist Hebrew fiction. Analyzing the effeminate Jew vis-à-vis the animalized woman through cutting-edge theoretical frameworks of animal studies and posthumanism, alongside the established scholarship of Hebrew/Jewish literature and gender studies, this book innovatively revisits the Hebrew literary canon.
