Caplan [is] mindful of and likely alarmed by the parallels between the 2020s and the 1920s, and rightly draw our attention to works of art and literature that might help us navigate our own troubled era., Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin is a remarkable work of critical imagination that stages a conversation between Yiddish and German modernism., Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin is full of sharp insights and bold statements, which at times can raise incidental doubts in the reader's mind. Caplan's book is a work of creative critical research on modern Yiddish literature, particularly well-suited to the contemporary historical moment., Caplan's work is a sprawling, at times idiosyncratic,rich, and deeply earnest stu y of modernist aesthetics and the political, social, artistic, and lit rary contexts that inform them from the vantage points of center and periphery., Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin offers a riveting analysis of the poetic and political force of Yiddish modernism, but it is also an invitation to look at Yiddish avant-garde beyond the confines of Jewish culture., Caplan's work is a sprawling, at times idiosyncratic, rich, and deeply earnest study of modernist aesthetics and the political, social, artistic, and literary contexts that inform them from the vantage points of center and periphery., Caplan's analysis is most fascinating when it is able to illuminate points of tension or difference between German and yiddish-language gazes east that appear in literary depictions produced in Berlin in the 1920s and early 1930s., "In this richly informed study, Marc Caplan gives voice to the radically cosmopolitan "Weimar Yiddishists." His brilliant juxtapositions both capture these writers' unique contribution to modernist aesthetics and illuminate the reciprocal encounter between Eastern European Jews and interwar German culture. The result is intellectual history as it should be written: lucid in style and capacious in breadth."--Vivian Liska, author of German-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife "This original, insightful and thought-provoking book opens up a new avenue in comparative literature studies by engaging the leading Yiddish and German authors of the Weimar period in a multilayered conversation. Caplan navigates the diversity of literary voices with confidence and finesse, taking his lead expertly from the key European thinkers of the age. Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin will significantly enrich our understanding of European Jewish modernity and generate lively scholarly debate."--Mikhail Krutikov, author of Der Nister's Soviet Years "Marc Caplan offers us an entirely new vantage point from which to read a set of fascinating literary texts. Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin demonstrates why they matter and why it is useful to spend time with them under the guidance of an knowledgeable and playful reader like Caplan. Through Caplan's lens, the texts both illuminate their own historical moment and remind us that history continues to pulse through our present."--Na'ama Rokem, author of Prosaic Conditions: Heinrich Heine and the Spaces of Zionist Literature "Caplan's work is a sprawling, at times idiosyncratic,rich, and deeply earnest stu y of modernist aesthetics and the political, social, artistic, and lit rary contexts that inform them from the vantage points of center and periphery."--Jessica Kirzane - The University of Chicago " Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin is a remarkable work of critical imagination that stages a conversation between Yiddish and German modernism. In lively and often memorable prose, Caplan analyzes "the reciprocal encounter between Eastern European Jews and German culture, concentrating primarily on a small group of avant-garde Yiddish writers working in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, taken in comparison with corresponding figures working in German-language literature, critical theory, journalism, and film."--Matthew Johnson, German Studies Review, "In this richly informed study, Marc Caplan gives voice to the radically cosmopolitan "Weimar Yiddishists."

Synopsis
In Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin , Marc Caplan explores the reciprocal encounter between Eastern European Jews and German culture in the days following World War I. By concentrating primarily on a small group of avant-garde Yiddish writers--Dovid Bergelson, Der Nister, and Moyshe Kulbak--working in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, Caplan examines how these writers became central to modernist aesthetics. By concentrating on the character of Yiddish literature produced in Weimar Germany, Caplan offers a new method of seeing how artistic creation is constructed and a new understanding of the political resonances that result from it. Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin reveals how Yiddish literature participated in the culture of Weimar-era modernism, how active Yiddish writers were in the literary scene, and how German-speaking Jews read descriptions of Yiddish-speaking Jews to uncover the emotional complexity of what they managed to create even in the midst of their confusion and ambivalence in Germany. Caplan's masterful narrative affords new insights into literary form, Jewish culture, and the philosophical and psychological motivations for aesthetic modernism., In Yiddish Writers in Weimar Berlin , Marc Caplan explores the reciprocal encounter between Eastern European Jews and German culture in the days following World War I.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    This 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
