Excerpt from Daughters of Shem: And Other Stories It was her mother's illness that had called Zillah back to the hole-and-corner life in the dreary frontier town, just as her eyes were beginning to open on the manifold glories and the' gladness of the outer world, her ears to catch the loudening. Echoes of its thousand voiced laughter, her soul to feel its life-joy, which leavened her placid girlhood with a subtle presage of possible delights. Aye, just then she had to leave it all; but she brought the memory of it, a precious contraband, back with her into captivity, three months of which had ripened her into a woman. One grows old quickly in prison. And to her woman's fancy, which intensified the girl's dream, these things seemed more desirable, more alluring, because of the iron restraint that hemmed in her young life. Not fifty yards from the house loomed up the cross-barred frontier-gate, where the sentries' bayonets gleamed night and day, and fierce-eyed, impatient bloodhounds yelped disconsolately. And beyond them lay the fairy land from which she had been banished, the gladsome companionship of the wider, larger life she so often dwelt on with hungering memory. Every evening, as she heard the rattle of the massive ring-chain being drawn across the gate-posts, she felt the world was locked amid the hard metallic laughter of her malig nant fate.

Recent scholarship has brought to light the existence of a dynamic world of specifically Jewish forms of literature in the nineteenth century—fiction by Jews, about Jews, and often designed largely for Jews. This volume makes this material accessible to English speakers for the first time, offering a selection of Jewish fiction from France, Great Britain, and the German-speaking world. The stories are remarkably varied, ranging from historical fiction to sentimental romance, to social satire, but they all engage with key dilemmas including assimilation, national allegiance, and the position of women. Offering unique insights into the hopes and fears of Jews experiencing the dramatic impact of modernity, the literature collected in this book will provide compelling reading for all those interested in modern Jewish history and culture, whether general readers, students, or scholars.

The Encyclopedia of Modern Jewish Culture is an extensively updated revision of the very successful Companion to Jewish Culture published in 1989 and has now been updated throughout. Experts from all over the world contribute entries ranging from 200 to 1000 words broadly, covering the humanities, arts, social sciences, sport and popular culture, and 5000-word essays contextualize the shorter entries, and provide overviews to aspects of culture in the Jewish world. Ideal for student and general readers, the articles and biographies have been written by scholars and academics, musicians, artists and writers, and the book now contains up-to-date bibliographies, suggestions for further reading, comprehensive cross referencing, and a full index. This is a resource, no student of Jewish history will want to go without.
