Tradition And Trauma: Studies In The Fiction Of S. J. Agnon (Modern Hebrew Classics)

The fascination and enigma of Agnon's work is the inspiration for studies in this volume, which illustrate the importance of a writer who remains perhaps the central figure in Hebrew literature, but who has not gained prominence on the larger stage of world literature. The research and analyses collected in this book aim to foster an understanding and appreciation of Agnon's work amongst the English-reading public.
