NILI SCHARF GOLD is assistant professor of Modern Hebrew Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania.
"Groundbreaking. . . . Gold's skillful efforts have yielded an
achievement of serious scholarship and academic significance."--
"Jerusalem Post"
"The complexities of the Hebrew revival are at the center of Gold's
exhaustively researched, passionately argued and highly persuasive
study of Yehuda Amichai, Israel's 'beloved unofficial national
poet.'-- "Washington Post"
"This is a persuasive, unique book that is strongly supported by
sources and poetry, a book that presents a new poet -- more complex
and fascinating than ever, and a faithful representative of his
people. Not only does the new side of Amichai revealed in Gold's
book enrich his marvelous poetry, it depicts Israel as a
multicultural society, gathered from all ends of the earth, bearing
numerous and varied traditions."-- "Haaretz"
"Nili Scharf Gold is an impressive scholar, and her reading of
Amichai's poems is enormously valuable . . . There is genuinely new
and useful material is this book. . . . He was always Israel's best
ambassador whether on a public stage or in a social gathering, and
that is the memory that will endure. But Nili Scharf Gold has given
us fresh look and an important book. Anyone interested in Amichai
will be grateful for it."-- "Jewish Quarterly"
