The work opens with a description of the Hebrew literature scene in Europe prior to the publication of Ha-Shiloah, and follows the fate of the periodical during its first period (1896-1902) under the editorship of Ahad Ha'Am. The author describes in detail Ahad Ha'AM editorial policy, the controversy with the 'Young Writers' and financial and administrative problems faced by the editor of the stuggling journal. The period 1903-1919 during which Ha-Shiloah was edited by Joseph Klausner with Haim Nahman Bialik as co-editor, constitutes the second part of the work. A chapter is devoted to a comparison between Ha-Shiloah and Ha-Shahar, and the author concludes his study with a discussion on the contribution of Ha-Shiloah to Hebrew journalism at the end of the nineteenth century. ” - Publishers Description.
