Zsuzsa Hetenyi

In a Maelstrom: The History of Russian-Jewish Prose, 1860–1940

Discusses Russian-Jewish literature in four periods, showing what led to the turning points (1881-82, 1897, 1917). This book demonstrates why the selected epoch (1860-1940) represents a separate strand outside both Russian and Jewish national literature. It also presents the pitfalls of assimilation and discusses different forms of anti-Semitism.
