This is an article from Hakirah volume 4.
In the realm of classic Jewish thought, Rabbi Yehudah Liva ben Bezִalel, the Maharal of Prague, was a solitary revolutionary, especially in the elucidation of Aggadah, the nonlegal components of the Talmud and Midrash. On the one hand, he belonged to no well-defined school, and his mentors’ identities remain a mystery. On the other hand, despite founding a yeshivah in Prague and teaching several of the following generation’s preeminent scholars, his legacy included no immediate disciples who emulated or disseminated his unique approach to Jewish thought.
