Songs To a Moonstruck Lady: Women in Yiddish Poetry

by Barnett Zumoff (Translator)

Poetry. Jewish Studies. Yiddish poetry constitutes one of the great cannons of world literature, but has largely been lost to the general reading public because of the linguistic barrier. In this volume, Barnett Zumoff addresses this breach by creating and presenting masterly translations of 85Yiddish poems by women poets and 60 Yiddish poems about women by male poets. This collection will awe and delight both new and experienced readers of this magnificent slice of world literature.
