Abstract
Hungarian Jewish historiography has so far neglected to examine whether Neolog Jews living in Dualist Hungary were really as enthusiastically 'assimilationist' - or simply 'integrationist' - as this historiography has generally portrayed them. A close reading of articles published in Neolog Jewish journals, rabbinic sermons, pamphlets and works of fiction reveals a more nuanced picture. Clearly, Neolog Jews did not develop a consciously articulated agenda of dissimilation. In fact, the historical significance of the smallest expressions of dissimilationist views must be appreciated against the backdrop of pressure from a liberal but also nationalist political elite, which repeatedly and in the strongest terms stressed the duty of Jews not to differ in the slightest from their non-Jewish compatriots. Yet, despite this pressure, dissimilationist voices did exist, ranging from isolated calls for the preservation of Jewish national consciousness to regrets about an exaggeratedly exclusive identification with 'Hungarianness', from expressions of nostalgia for the self-isolating pre-modern Jewish world to outright rejection of the assimilationist ideal. As this article aims to show, these various expressions of dissimilationist opinion may have been marginal, but they were a constant feature of Neolog Jewish intellectual life between 1867 and 1918.
