   It is customary to speak of three figures—Mendele Mokher Sforim, Sholem Aleichem, and I. L. Peretz—as the founders of modern Yiddish literature, but for those readers who must encounter them mainly through the rough lens of English translation, they are by no means equally accessible or attractive.

   Is Peretz a Yiddish writer?

   • Let us be candid: except for the shrinking number of readers still at home with the culture of Yiddish, Peretz is not immediately available to the contemporary reader. At first glance—that frequent source of error—he may seem a writer of sentimental tales, folksy allegories, even obscurantist moralities.

   Did Peretz have a problem if he was a Jewish writer?

   • But Peretz (1852-1915) presents us with a problem. His name is known and occasionally honored, his work is little read. More “modern” in outlook and sensibility than Mendele or Sholem Aleichem, he is nevertheless the most prominent among those Yiddish writers who turned back for their materials to the half-buried past of East European Jewish life.
