Kraus's spectacularly hostile critiques often focused on his fellow Jewish journalists which brought him a reputation as the quintessential self - hating Jew. The Anti - Journalist overturns this view with unprecedented force and sophistication showing how Kraus's criticisms form the center of a radical model of German - Jewish self - fashioning and how that model developed in concert with Kraus's modernist journalistic style. Paul Reitter's study of Kraus's writings situates them in the context of fin - de - si cle German - Jewish intellectual society. He argues that rather than stemming from anti - Semitism Kraus's attacks constituted an innovative critique of mainstream German - Jewish strategies for assimilation. Marshalling three of the most daring German - Jewish authors Kafka Scholem and Benjamin Reitter explains their admiration for Kraus's project and demonstrates his influence on their own notions of cultural authenticity. The Anti - Journalist is at once a new interpretation of a fascinating modernist oeuvre and a heady exploration of an important stage in the history of German - Jewish thinking about identity.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Anti - Journalist Karl Kraus And Jewish Self - Fashioning In Fin - De - Siecle Europe\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Reitter Paul\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The University Of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780226754574\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 256 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/9\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Studies in German-Jewish Cultural History and Literature, Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Miscellaneous Items","brand":"Reitter Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593403310385,"sku":"IN-G-9780226754574","price":44.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780226754574.jpg?v=1753225781","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780226754574-the-anti-journalist-karl-kraus-and-jewish-self-fashioning-in-fin-de-siecle-europe","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
