In this groundbreaking study; Susan Handelman examines the theological roots of the modern science of interpretation. She defines current structures of thought and patterns of organizing reality; clearly distinguishes them from previously reigning Hellenic modes of abstract thought; and connects them with important elements of the Rabbinic interpretive tradition. Hers is the first comprehensive treatment of the undeniable; and undeniably significant; influence of Jewish religious thought on contemporary literary criticism. Dr. Handelman shows how they provide a crucial link among several of the most influential modern theories of textual interpretation; from Freud to the Deconstructionist School of Lacan and Derrida; as well as current literary theorists who revive Rabbinic hermeneutics; such as Harold Bloom and Geoffrey Hartman.

Just a ReprintBy Sherman PeabodyI bought this book because it was something new on the 90th Ohio Infantry and I already owned a facsimile reprint from Higginson Books. There is nothing in the publishing information to indicate this is a reprint. However; Scott Cameron is not the author; but just penned a short (and irrelevant) introduction to the original book written by his great great grandfather. Cameron is also called the editor; but has done precious little in the way of editing. So; if you want a new issue of a decent regimental history; this is for you. If you already own a copy of the original book; keep away from this one.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
