In this multidisciplinary essay collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish Jewish culture. Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery-from Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Łódź-and international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive brief record update service 24 June 2024 599 Shelved at 48-4-2 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xIntellectual life |y19th century. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xIntellectual life |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xSocial life and customs |y19th century. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xSocial life and customs |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xIdentity. 650 0 Jewish arts |zPoland. 700 1 Goldberg, Halina, |d1961- |eeditor, |ewriter of introduction. 700 1 Sinkoff, Nancy, |d1959- |eeditor, |ewriter of introduction. 700 1 Aleksiun, Natalia, |d1971- |eeditor. 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved at 48-4-2
