The work delves into the development and characteristics of Yiddish literature during the 1800s, exploring the linguistic, cultural, and social influences that shaped it. The author aims to shed light on the often-overlooked literary contributions of the Jewish community and to acknowledge the significance of the Judeo-German works within the broader context of European literature. At the start of the work, Wiener sets the stage by discussing the background and circumstances that led to the emergence of a distinct Yiddish literature amid various cultural and historical influences. He recounts his journey to gather materials and data, highlighting the challenges he faced due to the fragmentation of Jewish literary works and the historical context surrounding them. The opening outlines the necessity for Jews in Eastern Europe to develop a unique vernacular literature, fueled by their isolation and desire for intellectual engagement in a changing cultural landscape. Wiener also notes the absence of systematic records and bibliographies of Yiddish literature, emphasizing the importance of his efforts to create a comprehensive history that reflects the literary richness and diversity of the Jewish experience during the 19th century.
