It is based on a wide understanding of "world," as including not only the material world and all aspects of the man-made world, that is society, culture, and language, but also the spiritual and the emotional owrld. Studies focus on single poets or small groups of poets, on specific relations to the world, such as geographical notions, the attitude towards traditional Jewish culture or that to non-Jewish cultures, or on reception history. The collection honors Wout van Bekkum, an imortant scholar in the field of Hebrew poetry. ER -
