Classical Jewish texts have always possessed a material dimension, deriving from both their tendency to serve as markers for lost spaces and their connection to a sacred tradition. Texts such as the Torah scroll or prayer book were handled with respect and sensitivity, as befitting holy objects. Due to the specific historical conditions in which modern Jewish literature emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, one can more clearly identify the rise of secularism and the consequent pressure upon cultural forms to retain some evidence of “aura.” The chapter explains that the book suggests how the particulars of twentieth-century Jewish experience—its mass migrations as well as physical and psychological traumas—have shaped materiality's emergent role in literary forms by Jewish authors.","PeriodicalId":48293,"journal":{"name":"Yale Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147900161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It saw the end of monarchical absolutism, global exploration and settlements overseas, the world's first industrial revolution, deep transformations in religious and cultural life, and Britain's role in the international trade in enslaved Africans. But how were these changes perceived by people at the time? And how do their viewpoints compare with attitudes today? This wide-ranging history explores every aspect of Georgian life—politics and empire, culture and society, love and violence, religion and science, industry and towns. People's responses at the time were often divided. Pessimists saw loss and decline, while optimists saw improvements and light. Out of such tensions came the Georgian culture of both experiment and resistance. The book emphasizes those elements of deep continuity that persisted even within major changes, and shows how new developments were challenged if their human consequences proved dire.","PeriodicalId":48293,"journal":{"name":"Yale Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147911292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
