The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading Holofernes, the general of a powerful army, to free her people. The story has fascinated artists and authors for centuries, and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. Bringing together scholars from around the world, it transforms our understanding of Judith's enduring story across a wide range of disciplines. The book includes sections on Judith in Christian, Jewish and secular textual traditions, as well as representations of Judith in art, music and theatre. The collection includes new archival source studies and the translation of unpublished manuscripts and texts previously unavailable in English.

Judith hat als femme fatale spektakuläre Auftritte in der Kunst der Neuzeit; im Mittelalter ist sie unter anderen Vorzeichen bekannt. Hier geht es um exemplarische Keuschheit und triumphierendes Gottvertrauen. Der Judithstoff wird zum Ausgangspunkt für drei zentrale Epochen von Bibeldichtungen. So profilieren die "Ältere" und die "Jüngere Judith" die frühmittelhochdeutsche Literatur und die "Judith von 1254" eröffnet die für den Deutschen Orden geschriebenen Dichtungen. Nach Luthers Empfehlung, das apokryphe Buch als beispielhafte Tragödie zu lesen, wird die biblische Judithüberlieferung schließlich zum beliebtesten Propagandastoff des Dramas von der Reformation bis zu Opitz. Das Textkorpus eröffnet damit Perspektiven auf die Bedingungen volkssprachigen Schreibens in gruppenspezifischen Literaturen vom 12. bis 16. Jahrhundert.

This book examines the fundamentals of Jewish demography and sociology around the world. It is not only concerned with documenting patterns of population change but also with an intriguing and ever-present issue like "Who is a Jew?" The latter transcends the limits of quantitative assessment and deeply delves into the nature, boundaries, and quality of group identification. A growing challenge is how to bridge between concept – related to ideals and theory – and reality – reflecting field research. Divided into six sections, the book discusses historical demography, immigration and settlement, population dynamics, social stratification and economy, family and Jewish identity in the U.S., and Jewish identity in Israel. The volume represents the dynamic and diverse nature of the study of world and local Jewish populations. It shows how that field of study provides an important contribution to the broader and now rapidly expanding study of religious and ethnic groups. Scholars in disciplines such as history, geography, sociology, economics, political science, and especially demography follow and analyze the social and cultural patterns of Jews in different places around the globe, at various times, and from complementary perspectives. They make use of historical sources that have recently become accessible, utilize new censuses and surveys, and adopt advanced analytical methods. While some of their observations attest to consistency in the Jews’ demographic and identificational patterns, others evolve and ramify in new directions that reflect general processes in the areas and societies that Jews inhabit, internal changes within Jewish communities, and intergenerational trends in personal preferences of religious and ethnic orientations. This volume brings together contributions from scholars around the world and presents new and updated research and insights.

The Old Testament story of the widow Judith--the irresistible siren who lured her people' s deadly enemy, Holofernes, to his death, beheading him in his own bed to save Jerusalem--is an enduring cultural myth in Western society. In this original and provocative book, Margarita Stocker explores the Western fascination with the image of Judith and the abundance of interpretations that have surrounded her at different times between the early Middle Ages and the present day. The myth of Judith provides an important key to modern society' s view of women and power, the book argues. In dealing with the threatening image of a powerful femme fatale who is also a saint, the vested interests of Western culture have deliberately, often deviously, subverted images of sex and death as a way of marginalizing women and protecting traditional notions of masculinity.
