This course will be an examination of Jewish daily life in the late 19th/early 20th century, through the lens of literature, specifically the writings of Yiddish authors Sholem Aleichem (1859-1916) and Isaac Bashevis Singer (1903-1991). The class will not meet every week, in order for students to complete the reading of full novels and long-short stories. Readings, while supplied in English, may be read in any language. The course will be taught in English and is designed for advanced undergraduates and MA students.
