Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Literatur zum Verhandlungsort jüdischer Weiblichkeitsentwürfe, zu einem Experimentierraum, in dem zeitge¬nössische Diskurse über und anhand jüdischer Frauenfiguren ausgetragen und erprobt wurden. Es entstand eine Wechselwirkung zwischen literarischen Texten und der Wahrnehmung jüdischer Frauen, zwischen einer meist männlichen Perspektive und einem weiblich-jüdischen Selbstbild. Denn literarischen Weiblichkeitsentwürfen war zumeist ein Schreiben über (jüdische) Frauen inhärent. Weiblich(-jüdisches) Schreiben blieb eine Randerscheinung. Das gilt insbesondere für das 20. Jahrhundert: Die Pathologisierung von Frauen(-körpern) im Fin de Siècle wirkte nach und nahm Einfluss auf alle Lebensbereiche; für jüdische Frauen galt das durch eine Engführung von Antisemitismus und Misogynie in besonderer Weise. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung stehen daher literarische Präsentationen jüdischer Frauen – jüdische Weiblichkeit als Paradigma männlicher Autorschaft. In the nineteenth and, in particular, twentieth centuries, literature became a place to negotiate ideas of Jewish femininity, an experimental space in which contemporary discourses were carried out and tried out on and using female Jewish characters. Literary portrayals of Jewish women and therefore Jewish femininity as a paradigm of male authorship are thus at the center of this study.

The notorious image of Pandora haunts mythology: a woman created as punishment for the crimes of man, she is the bearer of hope yet also responsible for the earth's desolation. She binds together perpetuating dichotomies that underlie the most fundamental aspects of the Western canon: beauty and evil, body and soul, depth and superficiality, truth and lie. Speaking in multiplicity, Pandora emerges as the first sign of female complexity. In this compelling study, Vered Lev Kenaan offers a radical revision of the Greek myth of the first woman. She argues that Pandora leaves a decisive mark on ancient poetics and shows that we can unravel the profound impact of Pandora's image once we recognize that Pandora embodies the very idea of the ancient literary text. Locating the myth of the first woman right at the heart of feminist interrogation of gender and textuality, Pandora's Senses moves beyond a feminist critique of masculine hegemony and shows the centrality of this iconic figure among the poetics of such central genres as the cosmological and didactic epic, the Platonic dialogue, the love elegy, and the ancient novel. Pandora's Senses innovates our understanding of gender as a critical lens through which to view ancient literature.
