Summary:

Die Beiträge des Bandes konzentrieren die Auseinandersetzung mit Exilliteratur auf die jüdische Erfahrung von Exil, was dem Thema eine 2.500jährige historische Tiefe und eine entsprechende Vielfalt an literarischen Strategien, mit der Exilerfahrung umzugehen, zuspielt. Zugleich öffnet diese Perspektive Exilliteratur auch für das Spannungsfeld 'Exil und Heimkehr'. Die Aufsätze behandeln deutsche, französische und hebräische Exilliteratur, insbesondere des 20. Jahrhunderts.

The analysis of exile literature in the articles of this volume focuses on the Jewish experience of exile, thus giving the subject a profound, 2,500-year depth and a corresponding variety of strategies for coming to terms with the experience of exile. At the same time, this perspective broadens the perspective on the phenomenon of exile literature to include the tensions between 'exile and homecoming'. The essays discuss German, Hebrew, and French exile literature, with the emphasis on the 20th century.
