This book gives an account of the literary representation of Jews as businessmen from the early nineteenth century to the onset of the Third Reich. The historical context provides the background for an examination of the literary representation of Jewish businessmen and presents evidence for the perpetuation, transformation, and combination of stereotypes. The double bind of assimilation ¿ that the Jews were vilified whether they succeeded or failed ¿ is illustrated from literary treatments by the Romantic writer Wilhelm Hauff and the early twentieth-century writers Lion Feuchtwanger and Paul Kornfeld of the historical figure of ¿Jud Süß Oppenheimer¿. Gustav Freytag¿s use of the Jews as ¿counter-ideals¿ in his notorious bestseller Soll und Haben (1855) and the onset of racial anti-Semitism in Wihelm von Polenz¿s Der Büttnerbauer (1895) are illustrative of how literary anti-Semitism hardened in the course of the nineteenth century. The book considers a number of literary texts, some well known, some less familiar, which are revealing of the way in which Jewish¿Gentile relations were imagined in their time.

Über den Autor John Ward

I grew up in the small town of Norton, Ohio. I never really fit in with any particular group of kids. I was picked on quite a bit. It's never easy growing up and dealing with the stressful situations that many young people have to go through. Looking back now, it's much easier for me to say that it's okay to be different. For any of my young readers out there that are dealing with bullying, just understand that things do get better one day. You are allowed to be different. You are allowed to be interested in unique things. That's what makes you uniquely you. Recently, I was able to reflect on how much I enjoyed writing at a young age. I had suppressed working on my passion for a long time. I came to the realization that writing horror stories was a huge piece of the puzzle that had been missing in my life. This is what I need to do.I grew up loving all things horror, so naturally that is where my imagination can truly be happy, run wild, and have fun. At the present day, I live in Canton, Ohio with my wonderful dog, Bo. I investigate the paranormal in my free time as a hobby and when I am not writing. What makes me different is that I don't just love horror...I live horror.
