Marrano as metaphor
the Jewish presence in French writing
by Elaine Marks
A sweeping examination of the Jewish presence in French literature from the sixteenth century to the present, Marrano as Metaphor explores the many shapes and forms in which Jews are perceived, spoken, and written about. Employing a wide spectrum of analytical methods from history, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, renowned French scholar Elaine Marks opens new doors in the study of literature.
In this lucid, far-reaching discussion, Elaine Marks works to illuminate the reality of Jewish presence, always maintaining her sensitivity to the persecutions that mar the history of this presence in France. Exploring the complexities of suffering and mourning, the nature of writing, representation, and identity, Marrano as Metaphor is a significant moment in the study of French literature.
