Strangers at Home Jews in the Italian Literary Imagination

Using popular literature as a window on Italian society and its values, Lynn Gunzberg explores the representation of Jews in novels and poetry written by non-Jews from the beginning of the Risorgimento in the early 1800s to the enactment of the Fascist racial laws in 1938. She shows how the literature of that period contradicts the popular belief that anti-Semitism simply did not exist in Italy until late in the Fascist period.Gunzberg, Lynn M. is the author of 'Strangers at Home Jews in the Italian Literary Imagination', published 1992 under ISBN 9780520078406 and ISBN 0520078403.
