Edmond Fleg and Jewish Minority Culture in Twentieth-Century
France, the first critical biography of the leading French writer
Edmond Fleg (1874-1963), explores his role in forging a modern
French Jewish identity before and after the Second World War.
Through his writings - plays, novels, poems, and essays based on
Jewish and Christian texts - Fleg fashioned a minority identity
within the context of French Third Republic universalism. At the
heart of his work we find a radical ecumenism, a rejection of
exclusive and homogenous nationalism, and a deep understanding of
the necessity of supporting vibrant minority subcultures within the
context of a liberal democratic republic. This account is both
individual and social, pointing to the ways in which Fleg acted
within the possibilities and constraints of his milieu and used his
writing to engage with and shape the discursive fabric of
twentieth-century French culture. This book appeals to a number of
scholarly audiences, including historians and literary critics who
work on modern France and Jewish and religious studies and those
who focus on issues of identity and difference, as well as a more
general audience interested in Modern France and/or modern Jewish
history.
