From the Paper:
"The purpose of this research is to provide an analysis of Hasidism, the Jewish "revivalist movement" of the 18th century.The research will include analysis of the opponents of the Hasidic movement, including the Mitnagdim.
As Gershom G. Scholem immediately makes clear in his Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism that the "Polish and Ukranian Hasidism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had nothing to do with medieval Hasidism in Germany. The new Hasidism was founded shortly before the middle of the eighteenth century by that famous saint and mystic Israel Baal Shem ("Master of the Holy Name") who died in 1760 . . . "
