I thought the addition of the Historical Context section was very useful and important in understanding the time in which the novel was published. I also liked the short bio of Herzl in the Lead that explains his background. Without the context on novel and Herzl, I don't think its possible to fully understand the importance of it.

I think elaborating on the background of Herzl could be beneficial to a reader, especially a more uninformed reader.

The edited legacy section I think is also very useful and was a nice addition. I was wondering if there was any opposition to the novel?

The translation part of the book was also interesting to me. Is there any idea about how well the book was distributed? Like how many people were able to read it? And were they any restrictions from governments about it?

I'm sure this is a more difficult topic to write on. But, overall, I think the article flows very nicely and does a good job at covering the context of the era and the context of the novel.
