- Description
- Traces the development of a "salvific but antisemitic fantasy of Judaization" in western aesthetics from St. Paul to modern writers, and identifies an "alternate mode of modern poetics based in the Jewish philosophy of language and in the practice of rabbinical hermeneutics." Includes discussion of PrT for ways that the Prioress presents Jews as an "other of the other onto whom she may offshore her prior abjection."
