Friends, A recently published study on the Polish Jewish press has just crossed my desk:
Studia z dziejów trójjęzycznej prasy żydowskiej na ziemiach polskich (XIX-XX w.) [translation: Studies on the history of the trilingual Jewish press on Polish lands (19th-20th centuries) ]. Editor: Joanna Nalewajko-Kulikov; with the assistance of Grzegorz Paweł Bąbiak and Agnieszka Cieślikowa. Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Neriton; Instytut Historii PAN, 2012. 573 p., facsims. ISBN 978-83-7543-229-9 The 22 essays in the volume, primarily by contemporary Polish scholars, discuss specific newspapers and periodicals (such as the Warsaw daily Haynt and the weekly Literarishe bleter ) as well as broader themes covered by the Polish Jewish press. The three languages in which Jewish serials were published in Poland were Hebrew, Yiddish, and Polish. The essays in this collection are in Polish and are accompanied by English abstracts. (Unfortunately, the editor's introduction -- which takes the form of a brief historical survey -- does not include an English abstract.) At the end of the volume there is a 311-item, multilingual bibliography of works about the Polish Jewish press. At Stanford we acquired this volume on approval from our Polish vendor, Lexicon. If you would like to have that vendor's contact information, please send me e-mail. Zachary M.
