In this first volume of his magisterial work, Shmuel Feiner charts the twisting and fascinating world of the 18th century from the viewpoint of the Jews of Europe. From the religious and cultural revolution of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) to the question of whether Jews could be citizens of any nation, Feiner presents a board view of how this century of upheaval altered the map of Europe and the Jews who called it home.
