The Golem Returns
From German Romantic Literature to Global Jewish Culture, 1808–2008
Gelbin follows the golem from Jacob Grimm's brief account of 1808 through German Romantic and Jewish literature, Expressionist film and post-war fiction. She shows how the figure served Jews and non-Jews as a vehicle for questions of identity, otherness and creation.
