About the book

"Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, ghetto fiction played an important part in the articulation of a particularly German-Jewish quest for identity. The volume presents some 15 articles by scholars from Scandinavia, Germany, Great Britain, and Ireland, and offers new analyses of ghetto writing by well-known authors such as Heinrich Heine and Joseph Roth, and completely new material on forgotten ghetto writers who deserve to be rediscovered. The articles cover various types of ghetto writing, ranging from ghetto fiction in the tradition of Leopold Kompert and Karl Emil Franzos to diaries, travelogues, autobiography, and even contemporary German hiphop and rap lyrics."--BOOK JACKET.
