""A History of Jewish Literature"" is a comprehensive two-volume work by Meyer Waxman that explores the development of Jewish literature from ancient times to the early 20th century. Volume 8 covers the period from the 16th to the 18th century, while Volume 9 focuses on the 19th and early 20th centuries. The books provide an in-depth analysis of the major works of Jewish literature, including the Bible, the Talmud, Midrash, and Kabbalah, as well as the works of prominent Jewish authors such as Moses Mendelssohn, Sholem Aleichem, and Franz Kafka. Waxman also examines the historical, cultural, and religious contexts in which these works were written and how they reflect the experiences of Jewish people throughout history.
