The myth of Herzl, as it has developed over the last century, has perhaps become more important than the historical figure. This volume contains revised and expanded essays, which were originally delivered as lectures at international Herzl centennial conferences in Antwerp, London, and Jerusalem. Topics treated include the Herzl myth, Herzl’s nationalism and Zionism, his self-understanding and image, his authorship of comedies and philosophical tales, Herzl and Africa, as well as his reception in Israeli and other literature. Zweig films are also considered within this same context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Die Herausgeber nutzten [das] grosse wissenschaftliche Interesse vorbildlich und es entstand ein ausgewogenes Kompendium, das neue Aspekte der Zionismusforschung mit bekannteren Themen verbindet.\"Ulrich Bach in: Modern Austrian Literature 42.2\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/em\u003e‒ \u003cem\u003eRobert S.
