GORDON, LEON

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 254 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GORDON, LEON , originally JUDAH LOEB BEN ASHER (18311892),
Russian
 -Jewish poet and novelist (Hebrew), was born at Wilna in 1831 and died at St
Petersburg
  in 1892. He took a leading
part
  in the
modern
  revival of the Hebrew language and culture. His satires did much to rouse the
Russian
 
Jews
  to a new sense of the reality of
life
 , and
Gordon
  was the apostle of enlightenment in the Ghettos. His Hebrew style is classical and pure. His poems were collected in four volumes, Kol Shire Yehudah (St
Petersburg
 , 18831884); his novels in Kol Kithbe Yehuda (Odessa, x889).
For his works see Jewish Quarterly
Review
 , xviii. 437 seq.
