Why should we be excluded from the history and literature of Judaism because the world of our fathers and mothers became a secularized one, Geoffrey Hartman asks, or because religious literacy, whatever our faith or community affiliation, has gone into relative decline? And why, he asks, do those who have no trouble finding pleasure and intellectual profit in the Greek and Roman classics or in the literary and artistic productions of two millennia of Western Christianity not easily find equal resonance and reward in the major texts in the Jewish tradition?

Geoffrey Hartman is best known as one of the most eminent literary scholars and theorists of the past half century, going back to his first book, "The Unmediated Vision" (1954). His book on Wordsworth, published ten years later, remains a standard work, perhaps the single most searching study of Wordsworth s poetry to appear in the twentieth century.
