Upon assuming the editorship of Ha-shiloah in 1902, Yosef Klaus-ner announced his plans to expand the belletristics section of the preeminent Hebrew journal. He declared: "We consider the poetic work to be an enormous spiritual power, whose influence on the development of the Israelite nation must increase," and he lamented that "[t]he Jew is still unable to get used to the notion that all poetic works are important attainments of human culture, great national values without which a nation is unworthy of the name nation." 1 This dual belief in literature's unequaled national significance and its sovereign power over hearts and minds may strike the contemporary reader as naive. A century ago, however, such notions were common currency in the burgeoning post-traditional East European Jewish cultural sphere and articles of faith for many in the Jewish intelligentsia. 2
