Conversations on Dictionaries
How did dictionaries come to be? When and how did they originate in a specific language? Who was involved in that origin story? How have they evolved over time? What is the tension between scholarly and commercial, and between prescriptive and descriptive, dictionaries? What is the politics behind each dictionary? And what is the connection between dictionaries and nation-building? This fascinating book has the answers. It brings together a colle…
A “Problem-Anthology”
If anthologies of essays have sub-genres, we might consider The Cambridge History of Jewish American Literature to be a “problem-anthology.” As editor Hana Wirth-Nesher writes in her introduction, the book addresses itself to a conundrum. On one hand, Jewish American Literature (look ma, no hyphen!) is, by any measure, flourishing. Even in these times of contracting print outlets for publication and publicity it comprises writers of diverse backg…
Zamenhof and the liberal-communitarian debate
This paper proposes to analyze the early thinking of Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof (1859–1917) in light of the so-called liberal/communitarian debate.

But this debate has become in recent years a di…

L. L. Zamenhof and the shadow people
One hundred fifty years after the birth of L. L. Zamenhof in 1859, the audacity of his ambition stands out in sharp relief. Zamenhof intended Esperanto to create a new people for whom ethical relations to all other human beings, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, or religion, would be primary. Convinced that Esperanto, to survive, needed to become the hereditary language of a people, he offered it to the Jews of Russia as the medium of a trans…
