The period had started with the partition of Poland and the absorption of its territories into the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires; it would end with the first large-scale outbreaks of anti-Semitic violence and the imposition in Russia of strong anti-Semitic legislation. In the years between, a traditional society accustomed to an autonomous way of life would be transformed into one much more open to its surrounding cultures, yet much more confident of its own nationalist identity. In The Jews of Eastern Europe, Israel Bartal traces this transformation and finds in it the roots of Jewish modernity.Jewish culture and contexts.JewsEurope, EasternHistory18th centuryJewsEurope, EasternHistory19th centuryElectronic books.JewsHistoryJewsHistory940/.04924Barṭal Yiśraʼel915309Naor Chaya846998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457462203321The Jews of Eastern Europe, 1772-18812488621UNINA
