TY - JOUR TI - The Advantage of Marginality: R.A. Braudes’ Short Stories of His Lviv Period AU - Eshel, Einat Baram TI - The Advantage of Marginality: R.A. Braudes’ Short Stories of His Lviv Period AB - This paper discusses R.A. Braudes’ short stories that were published in the second half of the 1870s, during his three-and-a-half-year residency in Lviv. This was a period of dramatic changes in Haskalah literature, and also a significant period in Braudes’ work when he first attained his status as a novelist. In light of this success, I will explore why Braudes persisted in using the short-story genre, one that was considered trivial and did not earn him the recognition he received for his longer works, and discuss what literary and conceptual possibilities the short story gave him that his novels failed to give.   VL - 2015 IS - Nr 1 (35) PY - 2015 SN - 1506-9729 C1 - 2450-0100 SP - 35 EP - 54 DO - 10.4467/24500100STJ.15.003.3886 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studia-judaica/article/the-advantage-of-marginality-r-a-braudes-short-stories-of-his-lviv-period KW - Reuben Asher Braudes KW - Lviv KW - Haskalah KW - Maskilim KW - Russia
