Grace Aguilar: Selected WritingsAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 30 April 2003
Description
For the first time in over a century, this edition makes available the work of the most important Jewish writer in early and mid-Victorian Britain. Grace Aguilar (1816-1847) broke new literary ground by writing from the unique perspective of an Anglo-Jewish woman. Aguilarâ?Ts writing responds to English representations of Jews and women by writers such as Felicia Hemans, Maria Edgeworth, Sir Walter Scott, and Thomas Macaulay. She both assimilates and alters the genres of historical romance, dramatic monologue, domestic fiction, history, and midrash, among others. This edition includes Aguilarâ?Ts novella The Perez Family in its entirety; the Sephardic historical romance â?oThe Escape,â?? her Sephardic historical romance, â?oHistory of the Jews in England,â?? the first such history ever written by a Jew; major poems; excerpts from The Women of Israel; and Aguilarâ?Ts Frankfurt journal, never before published. Also included are primary source materials such as writings on â?othe Jewish questionâ?? from Aguilarâ?Ts non-Jewish contemporaries, tributes and memoirs, and contemporary responses to her work.
