However, the physical object of the book persists. Through the lens of materiality and objects, Barbara E. Mann presents a history of modern Jewish literature, encompassing novels, poetry, graphic novels, and artists’ books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy bringing contemporary work on secularism and design into conversation with literary history, she offers a new and distinctive frame for understanding how literary genres emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long twentieth century, a period marked by tremendous physical upheaval and geographic movement, saw the production of a multilingual canon of writing by Jewish authors. The objecthood of literature is felt not only in the physical qualities of books—bindings, covers, typography, illustrations—but also through the ways in which materiality itself became a practical foundation for literary expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471817654508,"sku":"9780300234114","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/37b24b80d5288295187cd8a1627defcc.jpg?v=1775694645","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-object-of-jewish-literature-by-barbara-e-mann-9780300234114","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
