Analyses the emergence of modern Hebrew literature after 1780, a time when Jews were moving beyond their conventional Torah- and Zion-centred worldview. Taking a fresh look at the origins of modern Jewish literature, Frieden launches a new approach to literary studies, one that lies at the intersection of translation studies and travel writing.
