Zipporah in Literature & the Arts

Zipporah is a rare and unconspicuous subject in Literature & the Arts. She appears in narratives of the Exodus but without any distinctive role of importance. Only in contemporary time the rediscovery of female characters in the Bible has generated greater interest. For instance, the role she plays in The Prince of Egypt (1998) is far more conspicuous than in any previous film on the Exodus. Two recent novels has made her the protagonist of the narrative; see Tsippora (2003 Halter), novel and Seven Days to the Sea (2006 Kohn), novel.
