To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lebensohn, the father of the poet Micah J. Leben- sohn, belonged, by the nature of his lyrics, to the first, the "hu- manistic, " stage of the Haskalah period, being considered its greatest poet. Even in "Eraeth We-Emunah" there is a distinct humanistic touch in the desire to wed Faith to Wisdom; for the Maskilim of the second stage of the period were striving for more than this, — they desired to adapt Faith to Life. Yet the future conflict was already foreshadowed in "Emeth We- Emunah, " at l...east in the portrayal of Rabbi Zib'on, meaning allegorically "the painted one, " the Tartuffe of Hebrew literature. 42 FICTION DURING SECOND STAGE "Emeth We-Emunah" was influenced in its setting by the similarly allegorical drama "La-Yesharim Tehillah" of the cele- brated M. H. Luzzatto, with this main difference: whereas the dramatis personae of the latter represent impersonated virtues and vices as such, those of " Emeth We-Emunah " embody the attributes of Wisdom and Folly: Wisdom, Reason, Truth.
