Tradition And Trauma: Studies In The Fiction Of S. J. Agnon / Agnon's themes are those of spiritual disintegration and decay as expressed through nightmare fantasy and symbol. These may be universal themes, but Agnon's originality resides in the way he relates them to the objective events of Jewish history. A palpable symbol of the appalling decline and disintegration of cultures in this century, the traumatized, evicted, or murdered Jew is highly evocative. Events have sapped his will to go on. In his encounter with the world and with God he is adrift and helpless. The fascination and enigma of Agnon's work is the inspiration for studies in this volume, which illustrate the importance of a writer who remains perhaps the central figure in Hebrew literature, but who has not gained prominence on the larger stage of world literature. The research and analyses collected in this book aim to foster an understanding and appreciation of Agnon's work amongst the English-reading public.
