The ancient world, much like our own, thrived on cultural diversity and exchange. The riches of this social reality are evident in the writings of Jews in the Hellenistic and Roman eras. Jewish authors drew on the wide range of Greek literary conventions and gave fresh expressions to the proud traditions of their faith and ethnic identity. They did not hesitate to modify and adapt the forms they received from the surrounding culture, but their works stand as legitimate participants in Greco-Roman literary tradition. In Greek Genres and Jewish Authors, Sean Adams argues that a robust understanding of ancient genre facilitates proper textual interpretation. This perspective is vital for insight on the author, the work's original purpose, and how the original readers would have received it. Adopting a cognitive-prototype theory of genre, Adams provides a detailed discussion of Jewish authors writing in Greek from ca. 300 BCE to ca. 135 CE--including New Testament authors--and their participation in Greek genres. The nine chapters focus on broad genre divisions (e.g., poetry, didactic, philosophy) to provide studies on each author's engagement with Greek genres, identifying both representative and atypical expressions and features. The book's most prominent contribution lies in its data synthesis to provide a macroperspective on the ways in which Jewish authors participated in and adapted Greek genres--in other words, how members of a minority culture intentionally engaged with the dominant culture's literary practices alongside traditional Jewish features, resulting in unique text expressions.

Vom Tanz auf dem Vulkan in den 1920er Jahren, von Flucht und Vertreibung und dem Leben im Exil erzählt Bestsellerautorin Gabriele Tergit.Sie war eine der ersten Gerichtsreporterinnen der Weimarer Republik, P.E.N.-Sekretärin, verfolgte Jüdin und Emigrantin. Gabriele Tergit (1894–1982) hat den Grenzbereich von Fakt und Fiktion ihrer Zeit vermessen: politisch, kulturell und historisch, dabei immer die Gesellschaft im Blick, in der sie lebte.Das Heft wirft ein Schlaglicht auf ihr von Brüchen und Zäsuren geprägtes Leben und zeigt die ganze Breite ihrer schriftstellerischen und publizistischen Produktion: von der Weimarer Republik über das Exil bis in die Nachkriegszeit. Neben einer unveröffentlichten Reportage aus dem "Palästina-Konvolut" präsentiert das Heft Beiträge, die u. a. Tergits Feuilletons und Reportagen der 1920er Jahre und ihren Debütroman "Käsebier erobert den Kurfürstendamm" in den Blick nehmen. Ergänzt durch Analysen, die sich anhand bisher weitgehend unbekannten Archivmaterials ihrer Fluchtroute und den facettenreichen im Exil entstandenen Arbeiten – auch im konfliktgeladenen Austausch mit Zeitgenossen – widmen.
