The Origin of the Modern Jewish Woman Writer
Analyses the development of Jewish women's writing in relation to Victorian literary history, women's cultural history, and Jewish cultural history. Between 1830 and 1880, the Jewish community flourished in England. During this time, known as haskalah, or the Anglo-Jewish Enlightenment, Jewish women in England became the first Jewish women anywhere to publish novels, histories, periodicals, theological tracts, and conduct manuals. The Origin of the Modern Jewish Woman Writer analyzes this critical but forgotten period in the development of Jewish women's writing in relation to Victorian literary history, women's cultural history, and Jewish cultural history. Michael Galchinsky demonstrates that these women writers were the most widely recognized spokespersons for the haskalah. Their romances, some of which sold as well as novels by Dickens, argued for Jew's emancipation in the Victorian world and women's emancipation in the Jewish world.
After Eli
Three women in 1930s Appalachia encounter an enchanting con man in this gripping psychological suspense novel from best-selling author Terry Kay. "Engrossing and packed with tension...exceedingly well-drawn." ―Publishers Weekly Though strangers are rare in the town of Yale, and a recent double murder is still unsolved, the charming and itinerant actor Michael O'Rear manages to win over the people of the remote Appalachian village. Intrigued by a legend of hidden money, Michael uses his acting talents and his gift of lyrical gab to win the empathy, and then the hearts, of the three Pettit women: Rachel, alone since her husband Eli left seven years before; her daughter, Sarah; and even her distrusting older sister, Flora. Each woman feels connected to Michael, whose charm and wit draws them inexorably into his play of madness—a drama of psychological horror that threatens the weak and unsuspecting. Terry Kay's riveting suspense novel is filled with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
