Sustaining Fictions Intertextuality, Midrash, Translation, and the Literary Afterlife of the Bible

Even before the biblical canon became fixed, writers have revisited and reworked its stories. € The author of Joshua takes the haphazard settlement of Israel recorded in the Book of Judges and retells it as an orderly military conquest. € The writer of Chronicles expurgates the David cycle in Samuel I and II, offering an upright and virtuous king devoid of baser instincts. € This literary phenomenon is not contained to inner-biblical exegesis. Once the telling becomes known, the retellings begin: through the New Testament, rabbinic midrash, medieval mystery plays, medieval and R.
