The Life of Esther De Berdt
Excerpt from The Life of Esther De Berdt: Afterwards Esther Reed, of Pennsylvania MY motives in writing this volume are honestly stated in its first pages. It has been prepared (and this the critical reader will easily detect) at different. Times, and in the brief intervals Of leisure which professional work allows. Its composition has been a source of enjoyment in contrast with the uni formity Of my daily labour; and I can truly say that when the last page was written, I was very sorry that my literary recreation was at an end.

Esther in Early Modern Iberia and the Sephardic Diaspora
This book explores Queen Esther as an idealized woman in Iberia, as well as a Jewish heroine for conversos in the Sephardic Diaspora in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The biblical Esther --the Jewish woman who marries the King of Persia and saves her people -- was contested in the cultures of early modern Europe, authored as a symbol of conformity as well as resistance. At once a queen and minority figure under threat, for a changing Iberian and broader European landscape, Esther was compelling and relatable precisely because of her hybridity. She was an early modern globetrotter and border transgressor. Emily Colbert Cairns analyzes the many retellings of the biblical heroine that were composed in a turbulent early modern Europe. These narratives reveal national undercurrents where religious identity was transitional and fluid, thus problematizing the fixed notion of national identity within a particular geographic location. This volume instead proposes a model of a Sephardic nationality that existed beyond geographical borders.

Star, The
Imagine losing your mother, your father, and your home in a matter of months. What would you do? This is precisely what happened to Esther, and in this book Charis McRoy uses her imagination to explore what Esther might have been thinking, feeling, and experiencing using the words of a young girl pouring out her heart in her diary. Whether she was living as a street waif, moving in with her cousin Mordecai and his wife, Chana, or winning the ultimate beauty pageant making her queen of all Persia, Esther holds on to her faith, recording it all in her treasured diary. Naturally, the author’s imagination has filled in some of the blanks left in the biblical account. Nevertheless, the storyline remains faithful to the history that we do know. As you read, you will admire anew a young woman’s determination to be faithful to the God who was always faithful to her, even amid trying circumstances.
