Kritik
"A major contribution to the historiography of the European Enlightenment."-Times Literary Supplement "Whatever one's perspective on the Haskalah, The Jewish Enlightenment will both enrich and challenge it."-Jewish Quarterly Review "Feiner's magnum opus ... offers a sweeping history of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement in Germany, from its beginning early in the eighteenth century to its demise at the end of that century... The first comprehensive study of the movement in almost a century."-Journal of Modern History "Feiner's work is likely to become the standard book on the Haskalah and thus will become indispensable to scholars of Jewish history, literature, and thought."-David Sorkin, University of Wisconsinmehr
