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. 606 $aYiddish philology$xHistoriography 606 $aYiddish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aYiddish philology$xHistoriography. 615 0$aYiddish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a437/.947 700 $aFrakes$b Jerold C$0155940 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974876703321 996 $aThe politics of interpretation$94344858 997 $aUNINA
