 | Journeys beyond the Pale Journeys beyond the Pale is the first book to examine how Yiddish writers, from Mendele Moycher Sforim to Der Nister to the famed Sholem Aleichem, used motifs of travel to express their complicated relationship with modernization. The story of the Jews of the Pale of settlement encompasses current-day Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland. Leah V. Garrett is assistant professor of Judaic studies and English literature at the University of Denver, Colorado. |
