Book Synopsis
This book explores the complex relations among the hegemonic triad of territory, nation, and national literature that have characterized the modern European nation-state. In the case of Hebrew literature, this triad was unattainable and its components fiercely contested, hence the literary field itself was responsible for shaping the nation, preceding the nation-state itself.

Trade Review
"An outstanding book that is certain to provoke wide discussion, Lines of Resistance will be essential for any future discussion of modernist Hebrew poetry. Well written—clear, fresh, and engaging—it will be invaluable to scholars in the field. Insofar as it engages in a dialogue with contemporary theories of nation building and canon formation, it is bound to appeal to literary critics in other fields as well." -- Ilana Pardes * Hebrew University of Jerusalem *
"This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in Modern Hebrew liberature." * Association of Jewish Libraries *
