Yiddish Fiction and the Crisis of Modernity, 1905-1914 (Stanford Studies in Jewish History and C)

"This book examines representations of modernity in Yiddish literature between the Russian revolution of 1905 and the beginning of the First World War. Within Jewish society, and particularly Eastern European Jewish society, modernity was often experienced as a series of incursions and threats to traditional Jewish life. Writers explored these perceived crises in their work, in the process reconsidering the role and function of Yiddish literature itself."--BOOK JACKET.
