Description

I. L. Peretz (18521915), the father of modern Yiddish literature, was a master storyteller and social critic who advocated a radical shift from religious observance to secular Jewish culture. Wisse explores Peretzs writings in relation to his ideology, which sought to create a strong Jewish identity separate from the trappings of religion.
