Notes:

"The study examines literary representations of Jewish self-consciousness, highlighting the dissonances between different positions during the time of emancipation. It uses the example of German-speaking Jews during the 19th century who portrayed their existence in autobiographical narratives, and reveals how their personal and collective identities were created amidst an environment of assimilation and emancipation"--Publisher.
