This important study is the first to offer a sustained look at a variety of early modern Yiddish masterworks—and their writers and readers—paying particular attention to their treatment of supernatural themes and beings.
Jeremy Dauberis the Atran Associate Professor of Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at Columbia University and the director of Columbias Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies.
Beautifully argued . . . extremely sophisticated and convincing . . .
In the Demon's Bedroomwill offer literary studies a new and important means of discussing early modern texts. —Leah Garrett,Monash University
Utterly original . . . Dauber's rehabilitation of Old Yiddish Literature, his attempt to rescue it from the German and Italian ghettos, is something markedly new. If you love to be shepherded through exotic realms, if you are excited by big ideas, this is the book for you. —David Roskies, Jewish Theological Seminary
