Features: From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, a large number of Jewish immigrants entered the United States, and the Jewish traditional culture they carried collided and merged with American culture in complex and profound ways. As a product and representation of heterogeneous cultural contact, American Jewish fiction embodies immense cultural and aesthetic significance. This book takes American Jewish fiction as a starting point, guided by the concept of cultural poetics, and attempts to break through traditional literary research methods. From an overall perspective of culture and poetics, it systematically organizes and defines the cultural and poetic values of American Jewish fiction, while also exploring and interpreting general rules of fiction and culture, as well as certain universal principles of cultural poetics.
