About this Item

(FT) 4to. Xii, 149 pages. In Hebrew. Volume one (of three) only. SUBJECT(S) : Hebrew literature, modern - history and criticism. Lachower (1883-1947) was a Hebrew literature critic and historian. "[His] approach to literature is both critical and scholarly. He studies the literary method and conceptual framework of the author, quoting copiously from the work under discussion. But he also probes the author's motives, stressing the different and often contradictory trends in his work and personality. Lachower's own writing, at times, alternates between an objective, matter-of-fact, somewhat dry style and impressionistic musings couched in metaphorical, often ornate, language. During the early period he discusses contemporary authors of the modern national renaissance, e. G. , S. Tchernichowsky, H. N. Bialik, Z. Shneur, U. N. Gnessin, and others. His detailed discussion of D. Frischmann and M. J. Berdyczewski shows a certain affinity in outlook between him and these two authors. He shunned the social-national approach to literature then current among his contemporaries. Instead of interpreting a work in the light of social conditions, he attempted to expound its intrinsic meaning. Besides the aesthetic aspects of literature, he was deeply interested in its philosophical and conceptual presuppositions. " (EJ, 2007) Covers edgeworn, pages a little tanned, good condition.
