The study results from the need to understand Hebrew literature within the inherently multilingual, transnational nature of the Jewish literary activity in the city and is based on a large corpus of Hebrew fictional texts that scholars did not consider earlier. It describes Hebrew literary life in Warsaw, as well as the different ways in which Warsaw’s cityscape and the urban experience are represented in Hebrew stories and novels written between 1880 and 1920.  }, doi = {10.4467/24500100STJ.15.006.3889}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-judaica/article/warsaw-in-hebrew-literature-1880-1920-new-perspectives} }
