I. L. Peretz and the Making of Modern Jewish Culture - Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies
Ruth R. Wisse
I. L. Peretz (1852–1915), the father of modern Yiddish literature, was a master storyteller and social critic who advocated a radical shift from religious observance to secular Jewish culture. Wisse explores Peretz’s writings in relation to his ideology, which sought to create a strong Jewish identity separate from the trappings of religion.
