The first critical, historical survey of the history of scholarship in the field, it confronts the assumptions underlying the research-assumptions of cultural identity and the value of the literature of that culture. It documents the pervasive denial that Yiddish is a language and that Yiddish literature is intrinsically valuable, or the assertion that this literature is German and a product of German culture.Yiddish philologyHistoriographyYiddish literatureHistory and criticismYiddish philologyHistoriography.Yiddish literatureHistory and criticism.437/.947Frakes Jerold C155940MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974876703321The politics of interpretation4344858UNINA
