With little of his fiction available in English translation, David Bergelson is revealed in this book to new readers seeking a more complete picture of worldwide Yiddish literature. The collection includes two short stories and a novella, which offer a taste of Bergelson's elegiac prose style.
This volume examines the use of Jewish non-biblical sources (Midrash) in "Paradise Lost". It demonstrates that Milton did not read the difficult midrashic texts in the original languages but that his midrashic materials were taken from translations made by Christian Hebraists.
