Haskalah and Hasidism in the
Kingdom of
Poland
A History of Conflict
Translated from the Polish by Sarah Cozens with Agnieska Mirowska
Author Information - Contents - Reviews - Publication Details
The conflict between Haskalah and hasidism shaped the world of Polish Jewry for almost two centuries. This award-winning study, a synthesis that offers both breadth and depth, is based on source materials in Polish and five other languages. Its subject matter is successfully contextualized within the broader domains of the European Enlightenment and Polish culture, tsarist policy and Polish history, hasidism and rabbinic culture, as well as the ins and outs of the Haskalah itself.
Marcin Wodzinski is Director of the Centre for the Culture and Languages of the Jews, and of the Department of Jewish Studies, of the University of Wroclaw. His special fields of interest are the social history of the Jews in nineteenth-century Poland, the regional history of the Jews in Silesia, and Jewish sepulchral art. He is the author of several books, articles, and reports, the co-editor of Jews in Silesia, and co-editor of the bi-annual scholarly periodical Studia Judaica and the Bibliotheca Judaica series.
