Early in the twentieth century, Yiddish, previously stigmatized as
a corrupt jargon, came to be recognized as a language in its own
right which was already the vehicle for a rich literature. Many
writers in other languages gradually became aware of the status of
Yiddish, sometimes by encountering Yiddish-speaking communities in
Eastern Europe, and responded to Yiddish language and culture in
their own works, while Yiddish writers adopted, and sometimes
anticipated, modern trends in other literatures known to them. The
present collection of papers ranges from the nineteenth century to
the present, from France to Lithuania, and from classic modernist
writers such as Svevo and Kafka to Imre Kertesz (Nobel Prize for
Literature, 2002). (Legenda 2005)
