Resumen

• Close readings of acclaimed 20th century novels and lesser known but stunning works of popular culture uniquely situate us to understand the clash of religious values that led to genocide in World War II Europe (including Great Britain). The author further engages pre-Shoah writers, such as Shakespeare and Melville, signposts to seismic conflicts in law and religion. Law and Literature methods permit the author to uncover the falsehood and antisemitic violence emerging from longstanding religious differences. Inspired by James Carroll ( Constantine’s Sword), Harold Bloom ( Jesus and Yahweh), and Franklin Littell ( The Crucifixion of the Jews), Weisberg provokes readers, through reengagement with a series of superb stories, to see in all of them millennia of atrocities disguised as “Judeo-Christian” affinity. As in his Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France (NYU; Gordon & Breach), the author again utilizes archival materials from the wartime period, integrating them into his close readings of fiction.
