Bialik, the Hebrew Bible and the Literature of Nationalism

It highlights his contributions to the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language and situates his work within the broader context of European national movements from the French Revolution to World War I. Through this lens, Bialik's influence on Jewish identity and culture is thoroughly analyzed.
