Beskrivning
In the 1930s, through the prose of Bruno Schulz (1892–1942), the Polish language became the linguistic raw material for a profound exploration of the modern Jewish experience. Rather than turning away from the language like many of his Galician Jewish colleagues who would choose to write in Yiddish, Schulz used the Polish language to explore his own and his generation's relationship to East European Jewish exegetical tradition, and to deepen his reflection on golus or exile as a condition not only of the individual and of the Jewish community, but of language itself, and of matter. Drawing on new archival discoveries, this study explores Schulz's diasporic Jewish modernism as an example of the creative and also transient poetic forms that emerged on formerly Habsburg territory, at the historical juncture between empire and nation-state.

Recensioner i media

"Instead of bringing Schulz to us, so to speak, Underhill engages in the far more laborious, courageous, and gratifying task of bringing us to Schulz—allowing readers to engage with his entire cosmos, rather than treating individual stories as test cases for our newest critical theories or personal projects. Ultimately this immersive approach does bring Schulz to us, and does so in a far deeper and more provocative way than would otherwise have been possible. Underhill's book demonstrates how our moment has finally caught up with a literary and aesthetic ethos that was vibrant and generative a century ago in Bruno Schulz's Galicia."—Kata Gellen, Duke University, In Geveb, A Journal of Yiddish Studies
