Masterpieces of 20th Century Refugee Literature.
Many of the great modern Jewish writers were refugees. Many of the most popular British screenwriters and novelists were Jewish refugees, including Tom Stoppard, Emeric Pressburger, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (most of the Merchant Ivory films). This short course casts the net wide, looking at the full range of how writers have written about their own – and others’ – experience as refugees.

George Steiner, Anno Domini (1964).

Eva Hoffman, Lost in Translation (1989).
