With scrupulous attention to landmark poetic texts and to
educational and critical discourse in early 20th-century Palestine,
Miryam Segal traces the emergence of a new accent to replace the
Ashkenazic or European Hebrew accent in which almost all modern
Hebrew poetry had been composed until the 1920s. Segal takes into
account the broad historical, ideological, and political context of
this shift, including the construction of a national language,
culture, and literary canon; the crucial role of schools; the
influence of Zionism; and the leading role played by women poets in
introducing the new accent. This meticulous and sophisticated yet
readable study provides surprising new insights into the emergence
of modern Hebrew poetry and the revival of the Hebrew language in
the Land of Israel.
