Jewish High Society in Old Regime Berlin

During the quarter century between 1780 and 1806, Berlin's courtly and intellectual elites gathered in the homes of a few wealthy, cultivated Jewish women to discuss the events of the day. Princes, nobles, upwardly mobile writers, actors, and beautiful Jewish women flocked to the salons of Rahel Varnhagen, Henriette Herz, and Dorothea von Courland, creating both a new cultural institution and an example of social mixing unprecedented in the Germen past.Hertz, Deborah is the author of 'Jewish High Society in Old Regime Berlin ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780815629559 and ISBN 0815629559.
