Segal takes into account the broad historical, ideological, and political context of this shift, including the construction of a national language, culture, and literary canon; the crucial role of schools; the influence of Zionism; and the leading role played by women poets in introducing the new accent. This meticulous and sophisticated yet readable study provides surprising new insights into the emergence of modern Hebrew poetry and the revival of the Hebrew language in the Land of Israel.Jewish literature and culture.Hebrew languagePronunciationHistory20th centuryHebrew poetry, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismHebrew languageRevivalHebrew languagePronunciationHistoryHebrew poetry, ModernHistory and criticism.Hebrew languageRevival.492.4/152Segal Miryam1659759MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811946703321A new sound in Hebrew poetry4014570UNINA
