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 Seminary; \"\"Garrett'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, nuaneed readings of Jewish journeys in particular.\"\" - Jeremy Dauber, Columbia University; \"\"This kind of scholarship is vital for the further progress in Yiddish studies and its integration into the mainstream humanities.\"\" - Misha Krutikov, Oxford Institute for Yiddish Studies","brand":"MP-WIS Uni of Wisconsin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767232102743,"sku":"9780299184445","price":16.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780299184445.jpg?v=1758712612","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/journeys-beyond-the-pale-yiddish-travel-writing-in-the-modern-world-9780299184445","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
