Examining medieval prosimetra (texts composed of alternating prose and verse), Levy demonstrates that secular love is the common theme across Arabic, Hebrew, French, and Italian texts. At the crossroads of these spheres of intellectual activity, Jews of the medieval Mediterranean composed texts that combined dominant cultures' literary stylings with biblical Hebrew and other elements from Jewish cultures. Levy explores Jewish authors' treatments of love in prosimetra and finds them creative, complex, and innovative. Jewish Literary Eros compares the mixed-form compositions by Jewish authors of the medieval Mediterranean with their Arabic and European counterparts to find the particular moments of innovation among textual practices by Jewish authors. When viewed in the comparative context of the medieval Mediterranean, the evolving relationship between the mixed form and the theme of love in secular Jewish compositions refines our understanding of the ways in which the Jewish literature of the period negotiates the hermeneutic and theological underpinnings of Islamicate and Christian literary traditions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 163 - 180) and index. 650 0 $a European literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Jewish literature $z Mediterranean Region $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Love in literature. 650 7 $a Jewish literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982834 650 7 $a Literature, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000151 650 7 $a Love in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002808 651 7 $a Mediterranean Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239752 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a LeÌvy, Isabelle. $t Jewish literary eros $d Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2022 $z 9780253060167 $w (DLC) 2021054932 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=451711BE4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
