Abstract
Chapter 2 picks up on the assumption initiated by Moyshe Bassin and developed by Ezra Korman that the modern idea of a Yiddish literary tradition requires an acknowledgment of premodern textual roots. Although both anthologists began their collections with devotional poems, dating back to the fifteenth century (Bassin) and the sixteenth century (Korman), individually they strove to distinguish between these archaic works and the post-Enlightenment idea of literature that the twentieth-century poets embodied. For Korman in particular it seemed essential to dissociate the old-fashioned religious poems, which reeked of the oppressive shtetl world and especially the association of Yiddish itself with women’s devotions, from the poems of revolution and secularism in the new century.
