Polish Jewish Culture beyond the Capital: Centering the
Periphery is a path-breaking exploration of the diversity and
vitality of urban Jewish identity and culture in Polish lands from
the second half of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of the
Second World War (1899–1939). In this multidisciplinary essay
collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an
integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by
illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than
Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish Jewish culture.
Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary
production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature,
film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music.
They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural
exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery—from
Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Łódź—and international centers
like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within
urban European cultures.
