Reena M Spicehandler: Woman on the Margin, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Woman on the Margin reintroduces a strong literary and feminist voice into English after a hiatus of almost a century. Russian-born Elisheva Bukhovsky was a Hebrew writer and a Gentile who emigrated to Palestine with her husband and daughter to become a part of the Jewish national revival. Like most Hebrew writers of her generation, she did her creative work in a language not hers by birth. She was one of the first poets to write in the idiomatic language of the Yishuv, the Hebrew-speaking Jewish settlement in Palestine, while also making the poems musical through rhyme and meter.
