Here are the Proletarian or \"sweat-shop\" poets, sympathizing with Socialist Anarchists, who were highly popular with Yiddish audiences at the end of the nineteenth century; the lyrical moods and ironies of the \"Young Generation\" at the beginning of the twentieth century; the sophisticated poetry of the modern world seen through the individualistic prism of the \"Introspectivists\" after World War I; samples of epic poetry; and, finally, the poetry of the Holocaust and the decline of the Yiddish language. This anthology reveals both an amazing achievement of Jewish creative work and an important body of American poetry, written in a minority language, practically unknown to most readers. The travails, joys, and intimate experiences of the individual in the big metropolis are intertwined with representations of American realities: architecture and alienation in the big city, the migration of the blacks, trade unions and underworld, the immigrant experience in this immense and strange land, and the destinies of Jewish history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Harshav\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.06h x 7.36w x 1.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 271","brand":"Benjamin Harshav","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992453513471,"sku":"9780804751834","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71dc9f8f-cc0a-4197-8170-dc7d7b297c47.jpg?v=1683319034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sing-stranger-benjamin-harshav-9780804751834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
