The Construction of Female Agency in German and Yiddish Pre-modern ›Wigalois‹ Adaptations

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

Traditionally, scholarship often concentrated on the Yiddish text presenting female figures as behaving in a "Jewish manner" or embodying famous Jewish mythical figures such as Lilith (see Achim Jaeger / Robert G.
