Beschreibungen/Notizen
Modern antisemitism is here defined as (1) an expression of the socioeconomic fears caused by modernization, (2) a corollary of political ideologies, especially nationalism, that seek to unify populations, (3) a racial ideology that posits the existence of indelible physical differences between "Jews" and "Aryans," and (4) a hostility directed against assimilated Jews, whose claims of a German identity it denies.3 Measured by these standards, Romantic antisemitism is often found to be almost but "not yet" fully modern. Rather than reading his literary texts as a subversion of his more openly antisemitic texts, I highlight the continuity in his work.\n The poem's description of the daughter's suicide in the ocean as a form of baptism alludes to the idea implied in the literary stereotype of the "beautiful Jewess" of a special affinity of Jewish women to Christianity.
