[EAN: 9781904113263], Neubuch, [PU: Liverpool University Press, Oxford], Paperback. Thisvolume, written by a range of scholars in history and literature, offers anew understanding of one of the central cultural and ideological movementsamong Jews in modern times. Disengaging the Haskalah from the questions ofmodernization or emancipation that have hitherto dominated the scholarship,the contributors put the Haskalah under a microscope in order to restoredetail and texture to the individuals, ideas, and activities that were itsmakers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In particular, theyreplace simple dichotomies with nuanced distinctions, presenting therelationship between tradition and Haskalah as a spectrum of closely linkedcultural options rather than a fateful choice between old and new or good andevil. The essays address major and minor figures; ask whether there was such anentity as an early Haskalah, or a Haskalah movement in England, look at keyissues such as the relationship of the Haskalah to Orthodoxy and hasidism,and also treat such neglected subjects as the position of women. New Perspectives on the Haskalahwill interest all students of modern Jewish history, literature, and culture.CONTRIBUTORS: Harris Bor, Edward Breuer, Tova Cohen, Immanuel Etkes, ShmuelFeiner, Yehuda Friedlander, David B. Ruderman, Joseph Salmon, Nancy Sinkoff,David Sorkin, Shmuel Werses. Revises our understanding of the relationship between the Haskalah, Orthodoxy, and hasidism, reassesses the role of key individuals in the movement, and offers a new, more nuanced, definition of the Haskalah. Should be of interest to all students of modern Jewish history, literature, and culture in eighteenth-century Germany and eastern Europe in the nineteenth century.
