Trade Review
"Olga Litvak marshals stunning erudition in a nigh-magical fashion as she revises the reigning conception of the Haskalah as a Jewish version of the European Enlightenment." -- Paul Mendes-Flohr * University of Chicago Divinity School *
"An impressive and largely successful attempt at revisiting a central and important concept in Jewish history and historiography." * European Review of History *
"Anchored in the rhetoric of the maskilic text, Litvak's work amount to a compelling picture of Jewish modernity, a torn and ambivalent modernity that hopes to keep the Haskalah as a restraining fantasy, an expression of incessant critique of the various facts of modernity." * Studies in Contemporary Jewry *
