Dutch Jewry - in a Cultural Maelstrom 1880-1940. ISBN 9789052602684

Amsterdam, Aksant, 2007. 213 pp. Very good copy. Clean, no traces of use. Softcover, frontcover slightly discolored. 14 contributions. Among them 2 about Spinoza: Henri Krop: Spinozism and Dutch Jewry between 1880 and 1940. David Wertheim: Spinoza's popularity in perspective. A Dutch-German comparison. In failing to form a separate pillar in a period when various population groups were doing just that, the Jews were certainly unlike contemporary Catholics or Protestants. But were those involved in the socialist, labor and women's movements different from non-Jewish members of the same organizations? The traditional answer is that their high degree of assimilation made them indistinguishable. However, the authors in this volume suggest that the category of assimilation does not suffice to explain the attraction of Jews to these very movements and their disproportionate representation. In fact the Jews were not trying to gain entrance in a pre-existing culture but were involved with non-Jews in constructing a new culture. Thus the complexity of Dutch Jewish history once more becomes evident if not new. ISBN: 9789052602684

GARTNER, LLOYD P.

History of the Jews in Modern Times. ISBN 9780192892591

USA, Oxford University Press, 2001. 468 pp. Lichte ouderdomsverkleuring. Goed, schoon exemplaar. Paperback. Lloyd Gartner presents, in chronologically-arranged chapters, the story of the changing fortunes of the Jewish communities of the Old World (in Europe and the Middle East and beyond) and their gradual expansion into the New World of the Americas. The book starts in 1650, when there were no more than one and a quarter million Jews in the world (less than a sixth of the number at the start of the Christian era). Gartner leads us through the traditions, religious laws, communities and their interactions with their neighbours, through the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and into Emancipation, the dark shadows of anti-Semitism, the impact of World War II, bringing us up to the twentieth century through Zionism, and the foundation of Israel. Throughout, the story is powerful and engrossing - enlivened by curious detail and vivid insights. Gartner, an expert guide and scholar on the subject, writing from within the Jewish community, remains objective and effective whilst being careful to introduce and explain Jewish terminology and Jewish institutions as they appear in the text. This is a superb introductory account - authoritative, in control, lively of the central threads in one of the greatest historical tapestries of modern times. ISBN: 9780192892591

GELBER, MARK H. (ed.)

The Jewish Reception of Heinrich Heine (Conditio Judaica, Band 1)

Tübingen, Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1992. 234 pp. Good copy, clean, no entries, underlinings etc. Paperback. Slight wear to cover. This volume contains the lectures, many substantially expanded and revised, which were delivered at an international conference held at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheva in 1990. By utilizing the methodological guidelines and insights of reception aesthetics, a range of Jewish readings of Heine's works and his complex literary personality are analyzed. Considerations of his impact on major figures, like Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, Karl Kraus, Else Lasker-Schüler, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Max Brod comprise the major part of the book. In addition, there are readings of Heine by minor or neglected Jewish writers and poets, including, for example, Aron Bernstein and Fritz Heymann, and by Jewish writers in Hebrew and Yiddish literature, as well as by Jewish readers within other national readerships, for example, the American and Croatian. In the process of this analysis, the notion of Jewish reception itself is naturally subjected to critical scrutiny. ISBN: 9783484651012
