Seder Eliyahu

More about the book

As rabbinic literature in general, Seder Eliyahu, a so-called ethical midrash probably composed in the ninth century, makes rich use of narrative, both to interpret and to edify. This book provides a classification of the work's narrative material. It examines, among the most significant aspects of the work's narratology, the ways in which narrative (for example, parables, first-person narratives, and stories of women) interacts with non-narrative discourse.
