| Jewish Scholarship and Culture in Nineteenth-Century Germany German Jews were fully assimilated and secularized in the nineteenth century--or so it is commonly assumed. In Jewish Scholarship and Culture in the Nineteenth Century , Nils Roemer challenges this assumption, finding that religious sentiments, concepts, and rhetoric found expression through a newly emerging theological historicism at the center of modern German Jewish culture. Nils Roemer is currently the Ian Karten Lecturer in Jewish History at the University of Southampton. He is the co-editor of Jüdische Geschichte lesen: Texte der jüdischen Geschichtsschreibung im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert (2003) and numerous articles and essays on modern Jewish intellectual and cultural history. |
