Yiddish was the primary language of European Jewry and its emigrant communities for nearly one thousand years. This class will explore the role of Yiddish in Jewish life and the rich culture produced in the language. Topics will include the sociolinguistic basis of Jewish languages; medieval popular literature for a primarily female audience; the role of Yiddish in the spread of haskalah (the Jewish Enlightenment); attempts to formulate a secular Jewish identity around the Yiddish language; the flourishing of modern Yiddish press, literature, and theater; contemporary Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox) culture; and ongoing debates over the alleged death of Yiddish. All readings will be in English translation and will include short fiction, plays and poetry as well as historical works.
