Vilna (Polish Wilno), modern Vilnius and capital of Lithuania, was
the traditional spiritual and intellectual centre of Jewish thought
in the Russian Empire. It was often referred to as the 'Jerusalem
of Lithuania', a term that has now come to stand for the lost world
of Jewish life in Europe. Most people today learned what they know
about this Vilna from autobiographies or personal memoirs. This
book takes a more objective look at how Vilna became a uniquely
important centre of the Jewish press. In particular it follows the
development of the Jewish press within the context of modernising
Imperial Russia during the second half of the nineteenth century.
Vilna is revealed as an important centre for the Jewish Socialist
movement, the Bund, towards the turn of the nineteenth century and
in the years running up to the 1905 Revolution. Bundist journalism
is discovered to be the sponsor of a Jewish cultural ideology
called Yiddishism.
