Rezensionen

"This richly detailed, sharply argued and fluent study offers important new insight into the development of attitudes towards Jews and Judaism in nineteenth-century Germany." - Adam Sutcliffe, King's College London, UK

"In this important new assessment of the Berlin antisemitism dispute, Frederick Beiser's distinctive combination of philosophical and historical argument brings new insights to a nineteenth century controversy whose legacy continues to reverberate today. Returning to the original texts, Beiser offers a provocative analysis that will raise questions for scholars across disciplines and spark significant debate." - Peter Staudenmaier, Marquette University, USA
