Vilna As a Centre of the Modern Jewish Press, 1840-1928

Marten-Finnis (German studies, Queen's U. of Belfast) traces the Jewish press in Vilna, now Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, from the appearance of the first item to the call by the editors of the monthly Di yidishe velt for a new Jewish journalism with new standards. She particularly examines how the old standards became established and the pressures to replace them. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
