Research areas: Modern Hebrew Language and Literature; Fiction of S. Y. Agnon; American experience of Jews and Hebrew writers; Hebrew poetry.
Although I plan to return some day to Agnon’s fiction, I am currently interested in the American experience of Jews and Hebrew writers in particular. Once my study on Hebrew literature’s representation of America’s minorities is published, I plan to pursue other issues that involved Hebrew literature in America, historical events and literary influences. My encounter with American Hebrew literature has also focused my interests more on Hebrew poetry, and I am interested how the poets in America differed from their fellows in other locations.
