520 1 $a""This is a truly outstanding work of literary criticism that will set a new agenda for the discussion of Jewish literature. The distillation of many years of his work, this book is genuine Miron, with his encyclopedic erudition sharp intellect, and powerful conceptual synthesis."---Mikhail Krutikov, University of Michigan" "Dan Miron---widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on modern Jewish literatures---begins this study by surveying and critiquing previous attempts to define a common denominator unifying the various modern Jewish literatures. He argues that these prior efforts have all been trapped in theoretical and historical impasses created by the need to see these literatures as a continuum. By contrast, Miron seeks to break through these impasses by acknowledging discontinuity as the staple characteristic of modern Jewish writing. He suggests that these literatures form a complex of independent, yet touching, components, in contact through relationships of contiguity. Approaching the topic in this fashion, he is able to offer an important set of original insights into modern Hebrew, Yiddish, and other Jewish literatures and the literary thinking that each of them produced." "From Continuity to Contiguity contains an entirely new interpretation of Franz Kafka's place within the world of modern Jewish literatures, along with discussions of Sholem Aleichem, Sh. Y. Abramovitsh, Achad halam, M.Y. Berditshevsky, H. N. Bialik, and Y. I. Peretz, among others. The book sheds new light on Jewish diglossias and shows how these modern Jewish literatures should be viewed against the background of the destruction of eastern European Jewry, the establishment of an independent Jewish state, and the flourishing of Jewish creativity in the West."--BOOK JACKET.
