Journeys Beyond the Pale: Yiddish Travel Writing in the Modern World

Leah V Garrett

4.9/5 (23106 ratings)

Description:Journeys Beyond the Pale is the first book to examine how Yiddish writers, from Mendele Moycher Sforim to Der Nister to the famed Sholem Aleichem, used motifs of travel to express their complicated relationship with modernization.This book is deliciously subversive. Garrett demonstrates that the major writers in Yiddish, a language without its own territory, wrote as if their Jewish subjects lived and traveled freely at the center of the world; not on its margins, not in a ghetto, not in a valorized state of exile. ---David G. Roskies, Jewish Theological SeminaryGarrett's work goes a long way towards conceptualizing and analyzing a phenomenon omnipresent in Yiddish short stories, novels, poetry, and drama, combining theoretical considerations of the journey in general and specific, nuanced readings of Jewish journeys in particular. ---Jeremy Dauber, Columbia UniversityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
