- Administrative/biographical history:
- Arakadii Georgievich Gornfel’d (1867-1941) was a literary scholar and critic, translator, and head of the literary criticism section of the journal Russkoe bogatstvo [Russian Wealth]. He was born in the city of Simferopol’, and graduated from the Simferopol’ secondary school [gimnaziia] and Khar’kov University law school; simultaneously with his studies in jurisprudence, he studied literature and poetics in the philology department, where his advisor was A. A. Potebnia. In 1891-93, he continued his studies at Berlin University, where he took Moritz Lazarus’s course on psychology, and studied literature under the guidance of L. Geiger. From 1893 on, he lived in St. Petersburg. He was a contributor to the journals Voskhod [Sunrise], Svoboda i ravenstvo [Freedom and Equality], Evreiskii mir [Jewish World], Novyi voskhod, and numerous Russian publications; he was most closely associated with the populist journal Russkoe bogatstvo, whose literary criticism section he headed. He provided an extensive preface to the Russian translation of Moritz Lazarus’s book The Ethics of Judaism (1903); and in 1904 he published an article in Russkoe bogatsvo titled “Theodor Herzl.” He was a member of the editorial commission of the publication Regesty i nadpisi (Document Registers and Inscriptions, a codex of materials on the history of Jews in Russia; 3 vols., 1899-1913); and he was actively involved with the Jewish Encyclopedia (1908-13). After 1917 he was involved in Russo-Jewish publications, writing such articles as “The Russian Word and Jewish Art” (Evreiskii al’manakh [Jewish Almanac], 1923); “A Posthumous Tale of Korolenko” (Evreiskii vestnik [Jewish Herald], 1928); etc. He combined the study of Russian and Jewish literature over the course of his whole career.
