About this listen
This book explores how the intellectual and literary movements of Russia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries affected Jewish thought and Hebrew literature.
By engaging in a comparative analysis of a diverse range of writings from key Russian and Jewish intellectuals, the book uncovers how ideas about the necessity for a national revival spread from Russian to Jewish intellectual circles.
Jewish thinkers who adopted these concepts modified them to correspond with the realities and experiences of Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe.
Similarly, the portrayals of an individual's search for the true and just God in Russian literature resonated in ideological Hebrew literature, where the protagonist endeavors to find a genuine path to achieve spiritual, social, and national prosperity for the Jewish community.
The incorporation of ideological influences is a widespread phenomenon that plays a significant role in advancement and cultural evolution, and it is acknowledged within Jewish culture as well.
