Synopsis
This literary biography brings the life and work of H N Bialik, widely known as the National Hebrew Poet, to the English reader for the first time. With appreciation for his brilliance and depth, Sara Feinstein expounds how Bialik drew upon sources in bible, Talmud, Kabbalah, and the Hebrew poets of the Golden Age of Spain in creating an archetypal mode of writing in Modern Hebrew Literature.

This biography of Bialik is rich in detail and filled with critical acumen about the nature of Bialik's poetry and his place in Hebrew literature.
Reviews

Dr Feinstein captures many of the fascinating facets of the life of this key figure in the history of Hebrew Literature



One can easily see that this volume represents a magnum opus and a life's work of intimacy with the central messages that Bialik was able to share with the modern Jewish world
There is no question that the success of this project was overwhelmingly determined by the talent, sensitivity and passion that she brought to this work, and her willingness to invest the time and energy over an extended period of time, to see it through. We are all beneficiaries of her wonderfully successful publication
