This volume explores literary and material representations of Jews, Jewishness and Judaism from antiquity to the twenty-first century. It investigates how the debates surrounding literary and material images within Judaism and in Jewish life are part of an on-going strategy of image management - the urge to shape, direct, authorize and contain Jewish literary and material images and encounters with those images - a strategy both consciously and unconsciously undertaken within multifarious arenas of Jewish life from early modern German lands to late twentieth-century North London, late Antique Byzantium to the curation of contemporary Holocaust exhibitions.
Hannah Ewence is Lecturer in Modern History at University of Chester. Helen Spurling is Ian Karten Lecturer in Jewish Studies and Outreach Fellow at University of Southampton.
