Beautiful Death: Jewish Poetry and Martyrdom in Medieval France Hardcover - 2002
by Susan L. Einbinder
First line
THE MEDIEVAL literature of Jewish martyrdom was born not long after the First Crusade attacks on Jewish communities along the Rhine-that is, not long after the deaths of the men, women, and children who became the subjects of its chronicles, lists, and laments.
From the rear cover
"Einbinder uses very impressive tools, and her work is on the cutting edge in Jewish studies. I know of no other book in English that takes this poetry so seriously or that is as successful in integrating the literary, historical, and religious dimensions of the poems."--Marc Saperstein, George Washington University
"Einbinder approaches her subject beautifully and is always aware of the interplay of poetry and history. This is an interdisciplinary work of the first order--one that reads poetic texts as historical texts embodying the changing and developing attitudes of a community. Its subtle analysis also illuminates the complex interaction of Christianity and Judaism."--Thomas Head, Hunter College and The Graduate School, City University of New York
