_The Mendele Review_: Yiddish Language and Literature (A Companion to _Mendele_) --------------------------------------------- Contents of Vol. 01.003 May 4, 1997 1) Current Yiddish bibliography (Iosif Vaisman) _____________________________________________ Date: Sun, 4 May 1997 02:54:39 -0400 (EDT) From: iiv@mmlds1.pha.unc.edu Subject: Current Yiddish bibliography Several months ago Noyekh Miller, Hugh Denman and others raised the question of current Yiddish bibliography. Below are the results of my attempt to compile a list of references for recent and forthcoming books. The list includes books in Yiddish, about Yiddish, and translated from Yiddish, that are published (or will be published) in 1996 and later. The list does not include book chapters, periodicals, audiovisual, and computer-based materials. Entries are classified under several subheadings: Language and Culture, Religion, Folklore, Literature and Literary Critisism, Theater, Music, Biography, History, and Gender Studies. On-line version of this bibliography will be available in Shtetl later, all additions and corrections would be gratefully accepted and incorporated.
