Writing Jewish - Contemporary British-Jewish Literature (Hardcover)

British-Jewish writers are increasingly addressing challenging questions about what it means to be both British and Jewish in the twenty-first century. "Writing Jewish" provides a lively and accessible introduction to the key issues in contemporary British-Jewish fiction, memoirs and journalism, and explores how Jewishness exists alongside a range of other different identities in Britain today.
By interrogating myths and stereotypes and looking at themes of remembering and forgetting, belonging and alienation, location and dislocation, Ruth Gilbert examines how these writers identify the particularity of their difference - while acknowledging that this difference is neither fixed nor final, but always open to re-interpretation.
Ruth Gilbert is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Winchester, UK and Honorary Fellow of the Parkes Institute Research Centre at the University of Southampton, UK. She has published a number of articles on Jewish literature and is the author of "Early Modern Hermaphrodites: Sex and Other Stories."
