Judaism and Environmental Ethics

on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that can hardly claim to represent this vibrant period.Only the first two essays by Florian Krobb, who analyses in a succinct manner the depiction of Jews in the literature of the 1890s and Colin Walker's comparison of two literary anthologies from the mid-nineteenth century and the post-war period, provide the sense of a longer chronological perspective.For the post-war period, Jurek Becker is discussed in four separate articles, while W. G. Sebald and others attract only two studious readers.Maxim Biller and Martin Walser have unfortunately been omitted from this canvas.Nevertheless, despite an unevenness in quality and selection, taken as a whole, the volume represents an impressive scope and significantly adds to the quickly accelerating research in this field
