Final Paper Proposal I would like to discuss Jewish literature and its influence on today’s American literature as my final paper proposal. Jewish literatures are works created by Jews on various Jewish themes, the most famous ancient Jewish literature is known as Biblical literature and rabbinic literature. As lectured in the class, the foundation of Jewish literature has produced with the modern emergence of secular Modern Jewish culture. Modern Jewish literature is included with Israeli literature, Yiddish literature and Jewish American literature. I will be more focusing on the Jewish American literature as my topic and main discussion in final paper. In the final paper, I am going to analyze some influential American Jewish literature masterpieces and discuss what impacts have these literatures made on American culture and how those literature change the todays’ Jewish culture mainstreams. The reason I am planning to choose Jewish literature as my topic is that I believe Jewish literature has become an indispensable part of modern American literature in many ways. Not only Jewish literatures achieve many accomplishments in literary circle, but also provide a significant platform to let readers, other religions to learn the Jewish culture in an opening and public way. And through class readings, like “Hear my story” written by Michael Garbutt, I think Jewish culture does not only represent for Jews or Jewish culture, instead it stands for many other immigrants from all over the world and reveals lots of common cultural problems including assimilation, redemption and border existence. The discussion of Jewish literature is quite appropriate topic as the final paper. The lecture this semester mainly covers the most aspects of Jewish identity that includes culture, tradition, food, behaviors and lots of other things. Jewish literature can be viewed as portrayal of Jewish culture. Admittedly, Jewish literate has its own special values that is the other social ideology can no the replaced, which makes us not able to ignore and underestimate the role of Jewish literature in society. Qian 1 Weekly Assignment The influence of Jewish literature over the current American literature can be dated back to a century ago if we include the literature that the Yiddish immigrants brought with them around 1885-1935. Most of these writers were mainly secularists and radicals. The Jewish-American writers always exhibited strong liberal thus secular ideas ever since 1877 poetry. The mediums that they used to express themselves was poetry, newspapers, novels, theater and scholarly books, papers, and pamphlets. Among the writers that brought “Jewishness” to America was Morris Winshevsky. He was among the people that promoted socialism but had little content relating to Jews in his poetry. He was also a devotee of the Jewish enlightenment called the Haskalah that emphasized secularity. He, however, represented a revolt against the religion during the end of the 19th century according to Nelson and Emmanuel Sampath, 2005. As noted by Gerhard Falk there were innumerable more authors who began with memoirs and petitions but only a few stands out as contributors to the current day writing in America. Morris Rosenfeld is one of these writers, and he was the principal representative of the “sweatshop” poets. These were the poets that reflected on the radicalism of that time which was as a reaction to the misery they went through living in slums, Jewish worker’s exploitation and the desperation of their masses. Rosenfeld was too much agnostic, and it was his radicalism that led to the rejection of the religion in Europe. Another great and prominent voice was that of Emma Lazarus, who created “The New Colossus” on the statue of liberty. It became the most significant highlight of the American migration while another writer Gertrude Stein turned out to be the most influential in the early 20th century using her prosestyle. Most of the novels of the Jewish-American literature focused their attention on the pulls that existed between the Jewish traditions and the secular society. These were felt by the Qian 2 immigrants that passed through Ellis Island. Ludwig Lewisohn was born in the United States if two German Jewish immigrants and was among the writers that wrote about the fate of the immigrants. All of this literature rejected religion and tried to find a way that pragmatism and realism were to be more superior while attempting to solve the problems that man was affected by rather than the belief of anything supernatural. Apart from Ludwig Lewisohn and Meyer Levin who defended being Jewish, the other writers all leaned to a political standing who viewed their being Jewish as a secular condition. The types of novels included Somebody in Boots (Nelson Algren), From the Kingdom of Necessity (Isadore Schneider), and The Foundry (Albert Halper), as listed by Fried, Lewis, Ed. 1988. Socialism was now viewed as the answer to the problems that the Jewish incurred disdained religion is demanding that the future should be free of tradition. Michael Gold wrote a novel Jews Without Money which he believed would send the message that Marxism and not Judaism would be the answer to the hardships of the immigrant slums. More recent authors such as Michael Chabon, Nicole Krauss, Alan Kaufman and Art Spiegelman have continued to examine the identity dilemmas in their literature and primarily focusing on the Holocaust, cultural rediscovery and assimilation by the younger generation of Jews. As of 1997, Furman Andrew, writes that Leon Uris had the most arguably influential American-Jewish novel called the Exodus. It explains the struggle to try and create a modern state of Israel and translate it into Russian which then became an inspiration to many Russian immigrants to Israel. Modern literature has very few Jewish characters so as to address such themes as Zionism/Israel, assimilation, anti-Semitism and the New anti-Semitism. As noted in the New Yorker, the American magazine that has been an instrumental part in exposing all these Jewish writers with an aim of reaching a much wider reading public.
