Leaving the Jewish Fold: Conversion and Radical Assimilation in Modern Jewish History
ISBN: 9780691004792 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Between the French Revolution and World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews left the Jewish fold--by becoming Christians or, in liberal states, by intermarrying. Telling the stories of both famous and obscure individuals, Leaving the Jewish Fold explores the nature of this drift and defection from Judaism in Europe and America from the eighteenth century to today. Arguing that religious conviction was rarely a motive for Jews who became Christians, Todd Endelman shows that those who severed their Jewish ties were driven above all by pragmatic concerns--especially the desire to...

The Jews of Georgian England, 1714-1830: Tradition and Change in a Liberal Society
ISBN: 9780472086092 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The movement from tradition to modernity engulfed all of the Jewish communities in the West, but hitherto historians have concentrated on the intellectual revolution in Germany by Moses Mendelssohn in the second half of the eighteenth century as the decisive event in the origins of Jewish modernity. In The Jews of Georgian England, Todd M. Endelman challenges the Germanocentric orientation of the bulk of modern Jewish historiography and argues that the modernization of European Jewry encompassed far more than an intellectual revolution.
His study recounts the rise of the... The movement from tradition to modernity engulfed all of the Jewish communities in the West, but hitherto historians have concentrated on the intellec...

Broadening Jewish History
ISBN: 9781904113027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Now available in paperback, Broadening Jewish History expands the horizons of modern Jewish historiography by focusing on 'ordinary' rather than exceptional Jews, arguing that what ordinary people did or felt can do more to deepen our understanding of Jewish history than what a few exceptional individuals thought and wrote. The book also makes a strong case for comparative history, showing convincingly that only a comparison across national borders can identify the Germanness of German Jewish history or the Englishness of English Jewish history, and thereby reveal what is unique about each....

The Jews of Britain, 1656 to 2000: Volume 3
ISBN: 9780520227200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 359 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Todd Endelman's spare and elegant narrative, the history of British Jewry in the modern period is characterized by a curious mixture of prominence and inconspicuousness. British Jews have been central to the unfolding of key political events of the modern period, especially the establishment of the State of Israel, but inconspicuous in shaping the character and outlook of modern Jewry. Their story, less dramatic perhaps than that of other Jewish communities, is no less deserving of this comprehensive and finely balanced analytical account. Even though Jews were never completely absent...
