This book, through the study of periodicals and archive materials, offers a new view of Volynsky as a champion of Symbolist theater, supporter of Jewish playwrights, an ardent partisan of Habima theater and finally, a theoretician of Jewish theater. Throughout his life, Volynsky was a seeker of a Jewish-Christian synthesis, both religious and moral. His grand universalist view made him the first to see the true value of leading Russian writers ? his contemporaries Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. 410 0$aStudia Judaeoslavica$v11. 606 $aCritics$zRussia$vBiography 606 $aDance critics$zRussia$vBiography 615 0$aCritics 615 0$aDance critics 676 $a891.78309 700 $aTolstai?a?$b Elena$01249221 701 $aCook$b Simon$01249222 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155552003321 996 $aAkim Volynsky$92895024 997 $aUNINA
