Trade Review

"This slim, brilliant book has yielded a series of cutting edge works by some of the leading scholars in Jewish Studies. . . . A provocative tour de force."

* Slavic Review *

"A remarkable, rewarding study . . . Stanislawski presents each of the life stories within the context of social and cultural history, and in so doing displays his erudition and knowledge. This is a challenging, intellectually stimulating work."
