Recenzii

This is a superb, well-thought out and brilliantly constructed companion to this growing field: it will both stimulate further research and support the teaching of Holocaust Literature.
This timely volume is an invaluable and lucid guide to the complexities of a vital and varied field of study. It will provide inspiration both for those already engaged in work in this field and those who are new to it.
Drawing together leading figures in the field of Holocaust studies, this impressive and carefully balanced collection offers fresh perspectives on the literary representation of the Holocaust. The essays map out key areas of current debate, providing a valuable guide to the development of Holocaust studies, trauma studies, and memory studies in the twenty-first century.
The Bloomsbury Companion to Holocaust Literature assembles a stellar group of emerging and established critics and covers an impressively broad range of issues and texts. With an annotated bibliography, glossary, and outline of new directions in the field accompanying a series of accessible essays, this volume will be welcomed by students and scholars alike.
If we need any proof that 'Holocaust Literature' has arrived at a state of respected maturity as a genre sui generis, it is this companion, which eloquently and thoroughly provides sound and sometimes provocative reference and critical materials for scholar and general readers alike.
The Bloomsbury Companion to Holocaust Literature serves as a unique analytical literary resource for students and scholars alike and brings together the current state of academic criticism, research, and writing in the field. Recommended for graduate and undergraduate libraries, as well as a useful guide for college-level curriculum development in Holocaust studies.
Holocaust Literature is an important, provocative collection of essays by international senior and emerging scholars concerned with new directions in literary response to the Holocaust ... It interrogates accurate, embellished, and falsified testimonies; explores memory transmission of those distanced in time and place from the Holocaust; examines resistance to transmission prohibitions and taboos; and fosters comparison of the Holocaust and its representation with that of other genocides. An extensive annotated critical bibliography and glossary of major terms and concepts advance Holocaust literary studies. Highly recommended.
