Lawrence M. Wills delineates the techniques and motifs of the Jewish novel, shows how the genre both initiated and distanced itself from nonfictional prose, and describes the social conditions governing its emergence and reception. He also places the Jewish novel in historical context, between the Hebrew Bible and subsequent developments in Jewish and Christian literature.
