   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Jewish culture; modernity; literature; history; universalism versus particularism; nationalism; intellectual history;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation represents the first attempt to take account of the entire Swedish œuvre of Marcus Ehrenpreis and view it as a single, coherent statement, recognizing the very fundamental confrontation taking place between tradi­tional and modern ways of viewing reality and its possible resolution.
