Contemporary International Literature and the Shoah: 19

This book includes analyses of twenty-first century literature about the Holocaust. The international scholars highlight contemporary trends in writing about the Shoah in literature. They highlight the commonalities and divergences when applying a comparatist framework to Holocaust representation across national and linguistic borders. The Holocaust was a pan-continental event with a global impact: the evolution of its memory is, similarly, both pan-European and globally wider. This collection, stemming from a discipline-leading international project, explores the growth and change of Holocaust literature in Dutch, Polish, Russian, Hebrew, German, British, and American literatures and in a range of genres, for adults, young adults, and children. This collection will be a core resource for understanding the contemporary range of Holocaust literature and a first port of call for comparative work in this field.
