A Question of Tradition: Women Poets in Yiddish, 1586-1987 de Kathryn Hellerstein

A Question of Tradition: Women Poets in Yiddish, 1586-1987: Stanford Studies in Jewish History and C

Autor Kathryn Hellerstein
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iul 2014

Lucrarea A Question of Tradition aduce o perspectivă academică proaspătă asupra unui segment literar adesea ignorat: contribuția femeilor la tradiția poetică idiș. Spre deosebire de studiile care se concentrează strict pe modernism, Kathryn Hellerstein extinde cadrul temporal pe parcursul a patru secole, începând cu anul 1586 și ajungând până în 1987. Reținem modul în care autoarea integrează istoria literară cu cea culturală, oferind analize detaliate și traduceri pentru optsprezece scriitoare a căror voce a fost considerată marginală chiar și în perioada de glorie a literaturii idiș.

Subliniem rigoarea cu care sunt explorate genuri diverse, de la prefețe de tipărituri și rugăciuni în versuri din Praga și Cracovia, până la poezia transgresivă scrisă în centre precum Varșovia sau New York. Volumul servește ca o alternativă necesară la An Anthology of Modern Yiddish Poetry de Rachel Korn pentru cursurile de istorie a literaturii evreiești, având avantajul unei acoperiri istorice mult mai vaste și al unei focalizări stricte pe perspectiva feminină. Dacă Sing, Stranger de Benjamin Harshav oferă o panoramă a poeziei americane în idiș, lucrarea de față recuperează specificul de gen, oferind contextul biografic și critic care lipsește din antologiile generale.

Această monografie completează proiectele anterioare ale autoarei, precum Paper Bridges, unde a explorat opera lui Kadya Molodowsky. În A Question of Tradition, Hellerstein nu se mai limitează la un singur autor, ci construiește un argument solid pentru existența unei tradiții feminine continue, care a documentat transformările lumii evreiești de la primele rugăciuni pioase până la ambivalența modernă față de iudaism. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care femeile au modelat limba idiș ca instrument de expresie artistică și rezistență culturală.

Despre autor

Kathryn Hellerstein este conferențiar de limbă și literatură idiș în cadrul Departamentului de Limbi Germanice și al Programului de Studii Evreiești de la Universitatea din Pennsylvania. Specialistă recunoscută în recuperarea vocilor feminine din literatura idiș, ea a publicat lucrări de referință precum Paper Bridges, dedicată poetei Kadya Molodowsky. Interesele sale de cercetare includ și schimburile transculturale, reflectate în volume precum China and Ashkenazic Jewry: Transcultural Encounters. Expertiza sa combină traducerea literară cu analiza istorică, fiind o figură centrală în studiile idiș contemporane.

Descriere scurtă

In A Question of Tradition, Kathryn Hellerstein explores the roles that women poets played in forming a modern Yiddish literary tradition. Women who wrote in Yiddish go largely unrecognized outside a rapidly diminishing Yiddish readership. Even in the heyday of Yiddish literature, they were regarded as marginal. But for over four centuries, women wrote and published Yiddish poems that addressed the crises of Jewish history—from the plague to the Holocaust—as well as the challenges and pleasures of daily life: prayer, art, friendship, nature, family, and love. Through close readings and translations of poems of eighteen writers, Hellerstein argues for a new perspective on a tradition of women Yiddish poets. Framed by a consideration of Ezra Korman's 1928 anthology of women poets, Hellerstein develops a discussion of poetry that extends from the sixteenth century through the twentieth, from early modern Prague and Krakow to high modernist Warsaw, New York, and California. The poems range from early conventional devotions, such as a printer's preface and verse prayers, to experimental, transgressive lyrics that confront a modern ambivalence toward Judaism. In an integrated study of literary and cultural history, Hellerstein shows the immensely important contribution made by women poets to Jewish literary tradition.

Recenzii

"This book is a hugely valuable resource for anyone interested in Yiddish poetry, literature, and women's writing. Readers unable to access the texts in Yiddish will be please that Hellerstein's English translations are presented alongside the poetic explications . . . Hellerstein's complex book brings new considerations to the study of tradition with regard to women poets writing in Yiddish. It also whets the appetite for the publication of more collections and critical appraisals to reveal the still large number of Yiddish women writers, including poets, who remain unknown and unrepresented."—Helen Beer, Modern Language Review

"Hellerstein used the Korman anthology as the starting point for a twenty-five-year project. The result is A Question of Tradition: Women Poets in Yiddish, 1586-1987 — a book that is impressively wide-ranging and just as impressively deep . . . Her new book is a close look at eighteen poets, with special attention directed toward the many different ways these women wrote about the experience of being female. Training a gender-studies lens on poems that span four centuries, Hellerstein helps us achieve an intimate understanding of a wide variety of work."—Ellen Cassedy, Jewish Currents

"Aside from the alluring treasury of poems this book holds, it is also a magnum opus unto itself. Author Kathryn Hellerstein . . . worked on it for about 25 years. So it is not surprising that she writes with such powerful authority about poems that seem to be gushing with life . . . Hellerstein has provided a new perspective on the female poets who contributed to Jewish literary tradition, creating a trove of stunning poetry as they did."—Elizabeth Martins, Philadephia Inquirer

"This is a serious book for serious students of Yiddish poetry . . . Each chapter champions a different aspect of the journey, from the devotional to the secular . . . This is an erudite contribution to the 'Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture' series . . . Summing Up: Recommended."— S. Gittleman, CHOICE

"Women's Yiddish poetry finally gets its scholarly due from Kathryn Hellerstein, long-time champion of the female Yiddish poetic voice, in her comprehensive and accessible account, A Question of Tradition: Women Poets in Yiddish, 1586–1987 . . . Hellerstein's book is comprehensive, supplying the biographical details of six important poets' lives in one volume for the first time. Letters she quotes are revealing. . . . [Hellerstein's] book provides an amplitude to the discussion of these women that was previously denied them. The translations, accurate in meaning and still with the effortlessness of poetic language, capture the urgency of their voices. And Hellerstein's book lays to rest any question of tradition; it is there: inflected by prayer as the book's framework suggests, but also colored by difficult lives and a confidence born of their survival."—Alyssa Quint, Cleaver Magazine
"Each poet's work is explored exhaustively, along with bibliographic essays that trace the publishing history of each poet's work, as well as notes, a thorough bibliography, and an index. Highly recommended for academic collections and collections concentrating on Yiddish."—Beth Dwoskin, Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
"This work is the crowning synthesis of more than twenty years of study of Yiddish women poets. It makes important 20th century Yiddish women poets available in translation, in some cases for the first time."—Jan Schwarz, Lund University
"This is the untold story of women poets across generations and continents, who gave voice to their womanhood and sexuality, outrage and desire, amusements and commitments, even as they engaged a sometimes forgiving, sometimes indifferent and sometimes vengeful God. Kathryn Hellerstein guides us through this fascinating story with precision, patience, empathy and consummate grace."—David G. Roskies, Jewish Theological Seminary and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
"A Question of Tradition is an important book and an impressive contribution to the field of Yiddish studies. Kathryn Hellerstein writes beautifully. Her sensitive and illuminating readings of the poetry of a select group of Yiddish women poets makes a strong case for a tradition of women's poetry in Yiddish. Impressively researched and argued, Hellerstein's discussions range from the work of relatively obscure early poets like Toybe Pan to the well-known Kadya Molodovsky. In the process she delineates a female literary tradition in Yiddish literature that has long been obscured and neglected. This book will make an invaluable contribution, not only to the field of Yiddish Studies but to Women's Studies as well."—Goldie Morgentaler, University of Lethbridge
