The article discusses the role of Jewish topics in the scholarly heritage of Leonid Frizman, a Kharkov-born historian of Russian literature. Turning to Jewish Studies quite late in life, Frizman outlined potentially fruitful areas of research on a number of writers and created an experimental platform that allowed him to test and challenge widely accepted assumptions and arrive at new perspectives on various historical, literary and philosophical issues.
