Subject: This
issue
This issue is
devoted to Dovid Bergelson, one of the finest stylists in modern Yiddish
literature. We present the Yiddish text of the short story "Yordim"
(Declasse) in Standard Yiddish Orthography – that same remarkable set of rules
which has lately come under attack from various directions. We also give Joseph
Sherman's careful translation of the story. In the next issue of The Mendele
Review , which we plan to send out within the next week, will appear a
critical essay by Joseph Sherman entitled “Bergelson and Chekhov: Convergences
and Departures” that discusses the story in considerable detail. The next issue
will also contain a section devoted to books and periodicals received during
the past few months.

Legenda Press Publisher's Announcement
Legenda Press, a joint imprint of the Modern Humanities Research Association
and Maney Publishing, takes pleasure in announcing the appearance of the fifth
volume in its Studies of Yiddish series. Edited by Joseph Sherman and Ritchie
Robertson, the volume is entitled The Yiddish Presence in European
Literature: Inspiration and Interaction. The collection of papers in this
volume, arising from the Fourth and Fifth Mendel Friedman Conferences in Yiddish
held every second year at the University of Oxford, examines some of the fruitful interactions between Yiddish and
the European literary tradition, ranging from German works of the early
nineteenth century to the present, from France to Lithuania and Russia, and
from classic modernist writers such as Bergelson and Kafka to Imre Kertesz, the
Hungarian Nobel Laureate for Literature in 2002.
In Vol. 9, No. 10 of TMR, Joseph Sherman’s essay entitled “Bergelson and
Chekhov: Convergences and Departures” is republished from this volume by kind
permission. Purchase enquiries for this book, and others in the series, can be
made by visiting the publishers’ website at http://www.legenda.mhra.org.uk/. E-mail address as follows: legenda@mhra.org.uk
