Meir Aaron Goldschmidt and the Poetics of Jewish Fiction 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. At the same time, he shows that
Goldschmidt's midrashic style in a secular context predates certain
narrative movements within Modernism that are usually associated
with the twentieth century and especially Czech writer Franz Kafka.
Goldschmidt was remarkable in his era, both as a writer who
explored his peripheral identity in the mainstream of European
culture and as a writer of the first truly Jewish bildungsroman. In
this groundbreaking study of Goldschmidt's narrative art, Gurley
refashions his position in both the Danish and Jewish literary
canons and introduces his extraordinary work to a wider,
non-Scandinavian audience.
