In this work of literary history and criticism, Alan Mintz details thedevelopment of a new mode in Hebrew prose narrative -- the autobiography. Againstthe historical background of the Haskalah (Enlightenment), Mintz explores the workof three key writers: M. Z. Feierberg, M. Y. Berdichevsky, and Y. H. Brenner. At theturn of the century, these Hebrew writers found in autobiography a way of tellingthe truth about the realities of the self, its inner life, and its fate in a worldvoid of God. Through careful examination of the Hebrew autobiographical tradition, Mintz provides not only new understanding of a literary genre but also access to aunique perspective on modern Jewish history.
