The conscious or unconscious, often hysterical repetition of myths and exaggerations, and the repertory of cliches, fantasies and phobias surrounding the stereotypes of the Jew and the Jewess, have meant that they are figures frequently represented both in the high~minded world of literature and art and in the burgeoning industries of popular culture. Taking particular instances of the portrayal of the Jew in fiction, painting and prints, in film, caricature, pamphlets, medical journals, propaganda and architecture ~ in works by authors and artists as different as Dickens, Lautrec, Proust, Sargent, Joyce and Sartre ~ this book demonstrates in fascinating and sometimes shocking ways how representations of the Jew are embodied in some of the best known cultural products, situated in the text itself, not behind or beyond it. In specially written essays by some of today's most eminent cultural historians and critics, including Julia Kristeva, Marshall Berman and Sandor Gilman, this is the first book to explore the complex and sometimes contradictory ways in which Jewish identity was conceived and expressed in modern European and American visual and literary culture.
