Description

Anonymous characters - such as Lot's wife, Jephthah's daughter, Pharoah's baker, and the witch of Endor - are ubiquitous in the Hebrew Bible, and appear in a wide variety of roles. Adele Reinhartz here seeks to answer two principal questions concerning this aspect of biblical narrative. First, is there a "poetics of anonymity," and if so, what are its contours? Second, how does anonymity affect the readers' response to, and construction of, unnamed biblical characters. She is especially interested in issues related to gender, seeking to determine whether female characters are more likely to be anonymous than male characters, and whether the anonymity of female characters functions differently from that of male characters.
