[Ginsburg] challenges accepted scholarly criticism that written and spoken Hebrew share a collective rhetoric and contends that each work in Hebrew literature is unique and stands alone without being linked to other literature by a common idea., Shai Ginsburg...challenges accepted scholarly criticism that written and spoken Hebrew share a collective rhetoric and contends that each work in Hebrew literature is unique and stands alone without being linked to other literature by a common idea. Ginsburg discusses the work of Amos Oz, David Ben Gurion, Ehad Ha-Am, and Moshe Smilansky among others. Each page includes footnotes and a reference and general index are included. Recommended, Shai Ginsburg points to the complexity of the rhetoric of the nation, especially the Jewish nation, and of Zionist rhetorical, textual construction in particular. A rich study that closely examines various aspects of Zionist national rhetoric, it is a historical work of extensive scope that moves between essays and articles by 'A'ad Ha-'am, Herzl, Pinsker, and Berdyczewsky and reaches to contemporary Israeli literature and literary criticism. The national rhetoric that emerges from this timely book is, therefore, not only discourse reflecting and constructing the national situation in time, but a multigeneric rhetoric, expressing itself in a variety of ways.

Synopsis
Critics commonly hold that the modern Hebrew canon reveals a shared rhetoric that is crucial for the emergence and formation of modern Jewish nationalism. Yet, does the Hebrew canon indeed demonstrate a shared logic? In Rhetoric and Nation, Ginsburg challenges the common conflation of modern Hebrew rhetoric and modern Jewish nationalism. Considering a wide range of literary, critical, and political works, Ginsburg explores the way each text manifests its own singular logic that cannot be subsumed under any single ideology. Through close readings of key canonical texts, Rhetoric and Nation establishes that the Hebrew discourse of the nation should be conceived of not as a coherent and cohesive entity but rather as an assemblage of singular, disparate moments., Critics commonly hold that the modern Hebrew canon reveals a shared rhetoric, crucial for the emergence and formation of modern Jewish nationalism.
