The Emergence of Early Yiddish Literature : Cultural Translation in Ashkenaz PDF
by Jerold C. Frakes
Part of the German Jewish Cultures series
- Information
Description
While much early Yiddish literature belonged to pious genres, quasi-secular genres-epic, drama, and lyric-also developed. Jerold Frakes contends that the historical context of the emergence of Yiddish literature is an essential factor in any understanding of its cultural relevance in a time and place where Jewish life was defined by expulsions, massacres, and discriminatory legislation that profoundly altered European Judaism and shook the very foundations of traditional Jewish society.
