Description

Book Synopsis
Presents a bold new reading of one of Denmark’s greatest writers of the nineteenth century, situating him, first and foremost, as a Jewish artist. Offering an alternative to the nationalistic discourse so prevalent in the scholarship, Gurley examines Goldschmidt’s relationship to the Hebrew Bible and later rabbinical traditions, such as the Talmud and the Midrash.

Trade Review
“With original insight, Gurley demonstrates how Goldschmidt’s rich literary texts uniquely combine the ideals and aesthetics of Danish Golden Age romantic literature with older and authentic narrative traditions rooted in Jewish learning.” —Marianne T. Stecher, Department of Scandinavian Studies, University of Washington.
