| Summary: | This study analyses the origin of Russian-Jewish historiography by focusing on the emergence of Simon Dubnov, its undisputed leader and founder, as a historian. It examines the transition from his early activity as a literary critic of Yiddish literature to his work as a historian of Russian Jewry. The common theme running through his literary criticism and his interpretation of history is his focus on the people, its language and its historical experience. Rejecting the more elitist approach of previous historiography, Dubnov originates a populist school of history based on the renewed conception of the people as the true protagonist of Jewish history. |
