centuryOCofiction by Jews, about Jews, and often designed largely
for Jews. This volume makes this material accessible to English
speakers for the first time, offering a selection of Jewish fiction

stories are remarkably varied, ranging from historical fiction to
sentimental romance, to social satire, but they all engage with key
dilemmas including assimilation, national allegiance, and the
position of women. Offering unique insights into the hopes and
fears of Jews experiencing the dramatic impact of modernity, the
literature collected in this book will provide compelling reading
for all those interested in modern Jewish history and culture,
whether general readers, students, or scholars.
