NI�IR, RANKIM CRITIC OP YIMISN IITHUTV*!, WHOSI PMMTN "rANRZIIT" WAS RtCENTlY OftlllVfD Yiddish literature � like all literatures � contains two continuing and constant currents: the external and the internal. They are separate, but there is a link between them. The characteristics that hinge upon external forces relate to the quantitative aspects of book-production; while the internal, deeper probing trends are concerned with the quality of literary creation. The most salient external influence on Yiddish literature in recent years is the tragic diminution of Yiddish territory in the last 20 years. Of the former major literary centres: Poland and Lithuania, Soviet Russia, and the Americas, only the last remains. In 1939 the Nazis began their barbaric and destructive assault upon Jewish life and creativity, and a decade later the Bolsheviks exterminated the remnants of Yiddish literature in the Soviet Union, Today we are left with a single functioning nucleus of Yiddish literary life in North and South America. Creative forces in the Western hemisphere have been enriched by the literary She'erith Hapletah (remnants). Many Yiddish writers fled from East European and other European countries and found a haven in Israel. The majority of the other "refugees" have made their homes in the United States, Canada, Central and South America.

The marriage will take place on May 16, 1961, in Beth Sholom Synagogue. comers to the literary family are on the whole younger than the senior writers, one can safely assume that the average Yiddish writer in the Americas today is several years younger than formerly. It is true that there are more writers today than formerly, but, unfortunately, there are less readers. Despite the lessening of demand, there is a large output of new Yiddish books, and a constant flow of neW publications. Most of the new books are poetical works, ranging in style from primitive to extremely modern. We find verses in the folk-genre of Eliakum Zunser and Velvel Zbarz-her � except that they possess neither the candour nor the didactic functions of their prototypes. At the other extreme we find poetry in the complicated and sophisticated style of Eliot and Auden. Recent Yiddish poetry has been enriched by an abundance of lyric and dramatic poems, authored by the most outstanding representatives of older and younger poets such as: H. Rosenblatt, I. J. Schwartz, H. Leivick, Aaron Zeit-lin, Melech Ravitch, Ephraim Auer-bach, Chaim Grade, Abraham Suzkever, Berish Weinstein, A. Glanz-Leyeless, as well as the late Menachem Boraisha, David Igna-toff, Z. Segalovitch. There is also a revived interest in the sonnet form. Yiddish fiction writers have in recent years shifted from the short story to the novel. The latest works of Sholem Asch, I. J. Singer, Joseph Opatoshu and I. Bashevis � which have been translated into English, Hebrew, and other languages � are novels. The Yiddish press features, as always, high calibre stories and novels as well as tabloid-type fiction. Lately it has been sponsoring a third kind of fiction :� which is a cross-breed between literature and simple journalism. Its only resemblance to the high-calibre novel is that its subject matter is gleaned from Jewish history � including the history of Jews in America. Contemporary Yiddish prose and poetry occupies itself more with the past, especially the recent past � than with the present Our fiction writers are concentrating on the "old country" rather than on their new one. Even the Tercentenary celebration of Jewish life in America failed to stimulate interest of Yiddish fiction writers on American Jewish themes. One reason -is the language spoken by the American Jew. It is either English or Anglicised and jargonised Yiddish. For the writers of the older, primitive-naturalist school this was no obstacle. But contemporary Yiddish writers recognise the- importance of dialogue and monologue in the art of story-telling and they are reluctant to resort to translating or editing the speech of their characters, for it would result in artificiality. Therefore, they turn to the past � the old home� that distant milieu which was more integrated and had more style and form in its scope as well as in its language. Moreover, they can see it in perspective, and therefore, with greater clarity. There is still another motivation. The destruction of the Old Home has created a mood of mourning and farewell � the desire to perpetuate it by telling its history, erecting a tombstone over its grave.
