Autobiographical Jews
Essays in Jewish Self-Fashioning (Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies)
by Michael Stanislawski
"Autobiographical Jews examines the nature of autobiographical writing by Jews from antiquity to the present, and the ways in which such writings can legitimately be used as sources for Jewish history. Drawing on current literary theory, which questions the very nature of autobiographical writing and its relationship to what we normally designate as the truth, and, to a lesser extent, the new cognitive neurosciences, Michael Stanislawski analyzes a number of crucial and complex autobiographical texts written by Jews through the ages."--BOOK JACKET.
