David Sorkin is Frances and Laurence Weinstein Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the co-editor of Profiles in Diversity: Jews in a Changing Europe, 17501870 (Wayne State University Press, 1998), and author of Moses Mendelssohn and the Religious Enlightenment (University of California Press, 1996).
[Sorkin] has a subtlety of insight and a novelty of approach which
makes what he has to say new and compelling.-- "Times Higher
Education Supplement"
This book is surely one of the most challenging, thought-provoking
and indeed brilliant among recent studies in modern Jewish history.
In an original and profound manner, David Sorkin has
reconceptualized the critical period during which German Jews in
significant numbers first integrated into non-Jewish society. He
has provided a distinctly new way of understanding that process.
His work both deserves and requires serious consideration and
evaluation.-- "Studies in Contemporary Jewry"
