In this groundbreaking study; Susan Handelman examines the theological roots of the modern science of interpretation. She defines current structures of thought and patterns of organizing reality; clearly distinguishes them from previously reigning Hellenic modes of abstract thought; and connects them with important elements of the Rabbinic interpretive tradition. Hers is the first comprehensive treatment of the undeniable; and undeniably significant; influence of Jewish religious thought on contemporary literary criticism. Dr. Handelman shows how they provide a crucial link among several of the most influential modern theories of textual interpretation; from Freud to the Deconstructionist School of Lacan and Derrida; as well as current literary theorists who revive Rabbinic hermeneutics; such as Harold Bloom and Geoffrey Hartman.
