Beautiful Jewesses have been among the stock figures featuring in
literature in German for centuries. The present study is the first
consistent attempt to typify the figure of the 'beautiful Jewess'
by examining 70 novels and shorter narratives from four centuries.
The 'beautiful Jewess' topos is the expression of a non-Jewish and
non-female view, i.e. a view from the outside. The correspondingly
stereotyped features of the literary image of the Jewess are
traceable from Grimmelshausen to Heinrich Mann. In the history of
this motif, we also find a reflection of the problematic nature of
Jewish emancipation and assimilation in the course of time.
Reference to public discourse on Jewish women and their role in
state and society permits a reconstruction of the foundations
underlying contemporary attitudes and collective opinion-forming
mechanisms determining the image of the Jewess in literary works
and the reception accorded to such figures.
