Book Synopsis How Jews Became Germans by : Deborah Sadie Hertz
Download or read book How Jews Became Germans written by Deborah Sadie Hertz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Nazis came to power and created a racial state in the 1930s, an urgent priority was to identify Jews who had converted to Christianity over the preceding centuries. With the help of church officials, a vast system of conversion and intermarriage records was created in Berlin, the country’s premier Jewish city. Deborah Hertz’s discovery of these records, the Judenkartei, was the first step on a long research journey that has led to this compelling book. Hertz begins the book in 1645, when the records begin, and traces generations of German Jewish families for the next two centuries. The book analyzes the statistics and explores letters, diaries, and other materials to understand in a far more nuanced way than ever before why Jews did or did not convert to Protestantism. Focusing on the stories of individual Jews in Berlin, particularly the charismatic salon woman Rahel Levin Varnhagen and her husband, Karl, a writer and diplomat, Hertz humanizes the stories, sets them in the context of Berlin’s evolving society, and connects them to the broad sweep of European history.
Book Synopsis Towards Emancipation by : Carol Diethe
Download or read book Towards Emancipation written by Carol Diethe and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on feminism in Germany, Towards Emancipation examines some of the most influential women writers of the nineteenth century, from the late-Romantic writers, such as Bettina von Arnim and Johanna Schopenhauer, to writers who were active in the 1848 Revolution, such as Malwida von Meysenbug and Johanna Kinkel. The heart of the book is devoted to the leading proponents of emancipation, Hedwig Dohm, Helene Bohlau and the prolific Louise Otto-Peters, yet it also includes mainstream writers whose attitudes towards the movement range from lukewarm (the enormously popular Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach and Gabriele Reuter) to downright hostile (Lou Andreas-Salome and Franziska zu Reventlow).
Book Synopsis Serial Revolutions 1848 by : Clare Pettitt
Download or read book Serial Revolutions 1848 written by Clare Pettitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1848 was a pivotal moment not only in Europe but in much of the rest of the world too. Marx's scornful dismissal of the revolutions created a historiography for 1848 that has persisted for more than 150 years. Serial Revolutions 1848 shows how, far from being the failure that Karl Marx claimed them to be, the revolutions of 1848 were a powerful response to the political failure of governments across Europe to care for their people. Crucially, this revolutionary response was the result of new forms of representation and mediation: until the ragged and the angry could see themselves represented, and represented as a serial phenomenon, such a political consciousness was impossible. By the 1840s, the developments in printing, transport, and distribution discussed in Clare Pettitt's Serial Forms: The Unfinished Project of Modernity, 1815-1848 (Oxford University Press, 2020) had made the social visible in an unprecedented way. This print revolution led to a series of real and bloody revolutions in the streets of European cities. The revolutionaries of 1848 had the temerity to imagine universal human rights and a world in which everyone could live without fear, hunger, or humiliation. If looked at like this, the events of 1848 do not seem such 'poor incidents', as Marx described them, nor such an embarrassing failure after all. Returning to 1848, we can choose to look back on that 'springtime of the peoples' as a moment of tragi-comic failure, obliterated by the brutalities that followed, or we can look again, and see it as a proleptic moment of stored potential, an extraordinary series of events that generated long-distance and sustainable ideas about global citizenship, international co-operation, and a shared and common humanity which have not yet been fully understood or realised.

Book Synopsis The Origin of the Modern Jewish Woman Writer by : Michael Galchinsky
Download or read book The Origin of the Modern Jewish Woman Writer written by Michael Galchinsky and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyses the development of Jewish women's writing in relation to Victorian literary history, women's cultural history, and Jewish cultural history. Between 1830 and 1880, the Jewish community flourished in England. During this time, known as haskalah, or the Anglo-Jewish Enlightenment, Jewish women in England became the first Jewish women anywhere to publish novels, histories, periodicals, theological tracts, and conduct manuals. The Origin of the Modern Jewish Woman Writer analyzes this critical but forgotten period in the development of Jewish women's writing in relation to Victorian literary history, women's cultural history, and Jewish cultural history. Michael Galchinsky demonstrates that these women writers were the most widely recognized spokespersons for the haskalah. Their romances, some of which sold as well as novels by Dickens, argued for Jew's emancipation in the Victorian world and women's emancipation in the Jewish world.

Book Synopsis Fanny Lewald and Nineteenth-century Constructions of Femininity by : Vanessa Van Ornam
Download or read book Fanny Lewald and Nineteenth-century Constructions of Femininity written by Vanessa Van Ornam and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Saying that best-selling German author Lewald (1811-89) neglected the opportunity in her novels to promote positive changes in the discourse operative in women's lives, modern critics have focused instead on her autobiography, essays, and earlier novels. However, Van Ornam, a Berlin-based writer and translator, finds strategies of dissent in most of the many texts she produced over her 40-year career. The study is based on her Ph. D. dissertation for Washington University in St. Louis. It is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Book Synopsis Leaving the Jewish Fold by : Todd Endelman
Download or read book Leaving the Jewish Fold written by Todd Endelman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-22 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the French Revolution and World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews left the Jewish fold - by becoming Christians or, in liberal states, by intermarrying. Telling the stories of both famous and obscure individuals, Leaving the Jewish Fold explores the nature of this drift and defection from Judaism in Europe and America from the eighteenth century to today. Arguing that religious conviction was rarely a motive for Jews who become Christians, Todd Endelman shows that those who severed their Jewish ties were driven above all by pragmatic concerns - especially the desire to escape the stigma of Jewishness and its social, occupational, and emotional burdens. Through a detailed and colorful narrative, Endelman considers the social setting, national contexts, and historical circumstances that encouraged Jews to abandon Judaism, and factors that worked to the opposite effect. Demonstrating that anti-Jewish prejudice weighed more heavily on the Jews of Germany and Austria than those living in France and other liberal states as early as the first half of the nineteenth century, he reexamines how Germany's political and social development deviated from other European states. Endelman also reveals that liberal societies such as Great Britain and the United States, which tolerated Jewish integration, promoted radical assimilation and the dissolution of Jewish ties as often as hostile, illiberal societies such as Germany and Poland. -- from dust jacket.
Book Synopsis Keepers of the Motherland by : Dagmar C. G. Lorenz
Download or read book Keepers of the Motherland written by Dagmar C. G. Lorenz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keepers of the Motherland is the first comprehensive study of German and Austrian Jewish women authors. Dagmar Lorenz begins with an examination of the Yiddish author Glikl Hamil, whose works date from the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and proceeds through such contemporary writers as Grete Weil, Katja Behrens, and Ruth Kl_ger. Along the way she examines an extraordinary range of distinguished authors, including Else Lasker-Sch_ler, Rosa Luxemburg, Nelly Sachs, and Gertrud Kolmar. ø Although Lorenz highlights the author?s individualities, she unifies Keepers of the Motherland with sustained attention to the ways in which they all reflect upon their identities as Jews and women. In this spirit Lorenz argues that ?the themes and characters as well as the environments evoked in the texts of Jewish women authors writing in German resist patriarchal structures. The term ?motherland,? defining the domain of the Jewish woman?s native language, regardless of political or ethnic boundaries, is juxtaposed with the concept ?fatherland,? referring to the power structures of the nation or state in which she resides.? Lorenz describes a vital, diverse, and largely dissident literary tradition?a brilliant countertradition, in effect, that has endured in spite of oppression and genocide. Combining careful research with inspired synthesis, Lorenz provides an indispensable work for students of German, Jewish, and women?s writings.
