- Title
The Literary Image of the Shtetl.
- Authors
Miron, Dan
- Abstract
The article focuses on the shtetl's literary image in Jewish literature. Literary shtetlekh is found in the works of S. Y. Abramovitsh, Sholem Aleichem, Y. L. Peretz, Dovid Bergelson and S. Y. Agnon among many others. The description of these writers' shtetlekh implies that influential tradition existed in Jewish literature which demanded the radical Judaization of the shtetl image of eastern Europe. The tradition of Judaization was not disregarded by some writers because they wish to project their fictional artistic images, which were motivated by the agenda of the oppositionist.
