Die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Judischer Renaissance und der deutschsprachigen Literatur des Magischem Realismus werden hier erstmals systematisch reflektiert und in exemplarischen Einzelstudien ausdifferenziert.


In the early years of the 20th century, one of the Neoromanticism-inspired literary trends begins a time-determined search for modern religiosity, localized in the art of Magical Realism. Along with the French renouveau catholique representatives of the Jewish Renaissance were also actively involved in the formation of this trend. While some studies have so far focused on religious and philosophical issues in the field of Jewish studies or on the issues of German literary studies, this volume opens new transdisciplinary approaches. The productive relationship between the Jewish Renaissance and the German literature of Magical Realism – including Hebrew texts translated into German – is for the first time systematically reflected on and differentiated here in individual exemplary studies.
