Wilhelm Herzberg's novel Jewish Family Papers, which was first
published under a pseudonym in 1868, was one of the bestselling
German-Jewish books of the nineteenth century. Its numerous
editions, reviews, and translations - into Dutch, English, and
Hebrew - are ample proof of its impact. Herzberg's Jewish Family
Papers picks up on some of the most central contemporary
philosophical, religious, and social debates and discusses aspects
such as emancipation, antisemitism, Jewishness and Judaism,
nationalism, and the Christian religion and culture, as well as
gender roles. So far, however, the novel has not received the
scholarly attention it so assuredly deserves. This bilingual volume
is the first attempt to acknowledge how this outstanding source can
contribute to our understanding of German-Jewish literature and
culture in the nineteenth century and beyond. Through
interdisciplinary readings, it will discuss this forgotten
bestseller, embedding it within various contemporary discourses:
religion, literature, emancipation, nationalism, culture,
transnationalism, gender, theology, and philosophy.
