Dwor argues that midrash, a classical rabbinic interpretive form, is a site of Jewish feeling and that literary works underpinned by midrashic concepts engage affect in a distinctly Jewish way. The book thus emphasises the theological function of literature and also the new opportunities afforded by nineteenth-century literary forms for Jewish women's theological expression. For authors such as Grace Aguilar (1816-1847) and Amy Levy (1861-1889), feeling is a complex and overlapping category that facilitates the transmission of Jewish ways of thinking into English literary forms. Dwor reads them alongside George Eliot, herself deeply engaged with issues of contemporary Jewish identity. This sheds new light on Eliot by positioning her works in a nexus of Jewish forms and concerns. Ultimately, and despite considerable differences in style and outlook, Aguilar and Levy are shown to deploy Jewish feeling in their ethics of futurity, resistance to conversion and closure, and in their foregrounding of a model of reading with feeling"--Back cover. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103144 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102754 650 0 $a Jewish literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Jewish literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Affect (Psychology) in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2012001513 650 0 $a Affect (Psychology) $x Judaism. $x Judaism. 650 0 $a Judaism and literature $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Midrash $x Influence. 600 10 $a Aguilar, Grace, $d 1816-1847 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Levy, Amy, $d 1861-1889 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Eliot, George, $d 1819-1880 $x Criticism and interpretation. 830 0 $a New directions in religion and literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010081234 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220050841.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0792E296E55511E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
