The Worlds of S. An-sky: A Russian Jewish Intellectual at the Turn of the Century (Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture)

Shloyme-Zanvl Rappoport, known as An-sky (1863-1920), the author of the best known play in the Hebrew and Yiddish languages, â€œThe Dybbuk,â€ was a figure of immense versatility and also ambiguity in Russian and Jewish intellectual, literary, and political spheres. He was a leading Russian populist; he was the author of the poem adopted as the anthem of the Jewish Socialist Labor Bund; he is credited with being the founder of the field of Jewish ethnography; and he wrote one of the most influential works of Jewish catastrophe literature in modern times, his masterpiece â€œHurbn Galitsye,â€ on the travails of East European Jews in the First World War. This volume is the most complete examination of An-sky ever produced. It draws together leading historians, ethnographers, literary scholars, and others in a far-ranging, multidisciplinary exploration. It also contains numerous photographs culled from archives in the former Soviet Union, a superb English translation of an early Russian draftâ€•among the very firstâ€•of â€œThe Dybbuk,â€ and a timeline that covers all of An-skyâ€™s peripatetic life. Finally, it includes a compact disk combining material drawn from An-skyâ€™s own 1912-14 field recordings of Jewish songs, together with contemporary renditions, recorded at Stanford, of the Russian and Yiddish music that An-sky wrote, collected, and heard. Includes a CD of An-skyâ€™s music,, in Russian and Yiddish
