Book Description:
|
Since the Enlightenment, the cultural creativity of Polish Jews has found trilingual expression?in Yiddish, Hebrew, and increasingly in Polish?but under communism the mutual and dynamic interaction between the cultural systems was little studied. This collection is the first to examine Jewish literatures in Poland from the point of view of both linguistic and geographical diversity. The emphasis here is on the interwar
years, but earlier and later material is also included.
