A new review of “Literary Passports” in Modernism/Modernity – Shachar Pinsker

A new review of “Literary Passports” in Modernism/Modernity

Rachel Harris published a review essay on Literary Passports and other books in Hebrew and Jewish modernism in the Winter 2014 issue of the journal Modernism/Modernity :

Rachel Harris: “Modernism/Modernity,”  21:1, January 2014:

“Pinsker’s approach thus challenges the premises of epoch-defining critic Gershon Shaked, who has suggested that Hebrew modernism was a movement quashed by its failure to propagate Zionism through realist fiction… Pinsker’s conceptualization of it as a “transnational modernism” places it in the broader scope of European modernism…Pinsker’s work may be seen as a foundational text in rethinking the development of early twentieth-century Hebrew literary movements.”
