   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.

   How did Peretz influence Yiddish literature?

   • Among his other nonfictional works are Bilder fun a provints-rayze (1891; “Scenes from a Journey Through the Provinces”), about Polish small-town life, and Mayne zikhroynes (1913–14; “My Memoirs”). Peretz effectively ushered Yiddish literature into the modern era by exposing it to contemporary trends in western European art and literature.

   What is Peretz's earliest fiction in Yiddish?

   • Peretz's earliest fiction in Yiddish inclines toward the satiric-didactic sketch or, as in his Pictures from a Provincial Journal, the social vignette, mordant in tone, somewhat realistic in approach, but not finally devoted—he never would be—to detailed social portraiture.

   What language did Peretz write in?

   • Peretz began writing in Hebrew but soon turned to Yiddish. For his tales, he drew material from the lives of impoverished Jews of eastern Europe. Critical of their humility and resignation, he urged them to consider their temporal needs while retaining the spiritual grandeur for which he esteemed them.
