THE HASKALAH MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA.
355 p. + Frontis and full page plates. Publisher's device on title page. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding, gold lettered spine. Hardbound. First Edition. "The Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, was an intellectual movement in Europe that lasted from approximately the 1770s to the 1880s. The Haskalah was inspired by the European Enlightenment but had a Jewish character. It encouraged Jews to study secular subjects, to learn both the European and Hebrew languages, and to enter fields such as agriculture, crafts, the arts and science. The maskilim (followers of the Haskalah) tried to assimilate into European society in dress, language, manners and loyalty to the ruling power. The Haskalah eventually influenced the creation of both the Reform and Zionist movements" - Shira Schoenberg. Some of its leaders in Russia were: Tobias Cohn; Isaac bar Levinsohn; Max Lilienthal; Alexander Zederbaum; Perez ben Mosheh Smolenskin; Moses Lob Lilienblum; and others. Very good copy. JUDAICA BOX 2
