Publisher Synopsis
"A Goy Who Speaks Yiddish is an illuminating study of the literature that provided Christian readers with a titillating peek into Yiddish . . . Elyada's volume is rich with descriptions of the manuals and lexicons that provided a basic Yiddish vocabulary or grammar for Christian readers . . . A Goy Who Speaks Yiddish is a major contribution to the study of Christian approaches to Jews and Judaism on the cusp of modernity." -- Deena Aranoff * <i>Journal of Early Modern History</i> * "Elyada's systematic study of Christian interest in Jewish vernacular literature elucidates how knowledge circulated between Jews and Christians in German lands." -- Magda Teter * <i>American Historical Review</i> * "Here, Elyada demonstrates in an exemplary manner how sociolinguistic theory and method in the hands of a conscientious historian can lead to truly innovative research." -- Marion Aptroot, Heinrich Heine University * Dusseldorf * Read more...
