MINTZ, JEROME R. - Banished from their father's table: loss of faith and Hebrew autobiography
Bloomington, Indiana University Press, 1989. 223 pp. Dustj. good. Book very good. Hardcover with dustjacket. In this work of literary history and criticism, Alan Mintz details the development of a new mode in Hebrew prose narrative-the autobiography. Against the historical background of the Haskalah (Enlightenment), Mintz explores the work of three key writers: M. Z. Feierberg, M. Y. Berdichevsky, and Y. H. Brenner. At the turn of the century, these Hebrew writers found in autobiography a way of telling the truth about the realities of the self, its inner life, and its fate in a world void of God. Through careful examination of the Hebrew autobiographical tradition, Mintz provides not only new understanding of a literary genre but also access to a unique perspective on modern Jewish history.
