How the Wise Men Got to Chelm is the first in-depth study of Chelm literature and its relationship to its literary precursors. <br /><br /><br /> "Bernuth.provides a detailed and comprehensive examination of the evolution of some of the best-known Yiddish folk stories--those revolving around the comically foolish men of the town of Chelm--that places those tales in historical and cultural context." ― Publishers Weekly<br /><br />"Von Bernuth provides a comprehensive survey of all the collections of Chelm stories and their predecessors published since 1700 shows how the tales explored Jewish identity community and history and delivers a few punch lines." ― The Jerusalem Post<br /><br />"von Bernuth succeeds admirably in showing how the mythic locale allowed for the expression of various Jewish fantasies and anxieties over the past century and a half and indeed continues to do so today." ― Times Higher Education<br /><br />"A beautifully-written work of meticulous scholarship. How the Wise Men Got to Chelm is the first book in any language to fully explore the humor and the seriousness in one of the most enduring and beloved legends of popular Jewish culture. Von Bernuth not only traces the origins of the fools of Chelm but goes further to illuminate what these stories reveal about the intersections of European and Jewish cultures and the shifts in Jewish cultural development over a three hundred year period." -- Anita NorichTikva Frymer-Kensky Collegiate Professor University of Michigan<br /><br />"This book is deeply learned immensely sympathetic and refreshingly free of cultural anxiety or chauvinism Ruth von Bernuth squarely sets this famous genre within a milieu that is at once thoroughly Germanic and distinctively Jewish and she carefully traces the continuities and transitions from early modern to twentieth-century expressions. Very wise indeed this is a model analysis of the creative workings of not only Jewish but other diasporas as well." -- Jonathan BoyarinDiann G. and Thomas Mann Professor of Modern Jewish Studies Cornell University<br /><br />"Using the example of 'foolish' culture von Bernuth shows that Jews shared the assumptions themes and expressions of the general German culture while lending that culture a Jewish inflection. Yet social barriers persisted. Von Bernuth illuminates this paradoxical combination of cultural partnership and social alienation showcasing the relationship between minority and majority groups. Her book is a milestone in both literary history and cultural studies." -- Moshe Rosmanauthor of How Jewish Is Jewish History<br /><br />"One can only wonder what the Wise Men of Chelm would have said about a book like this. It has all the scholarship one could ask for but also an ability to home in on basic questions. It offers a sense of perspectiveand a sense of humor. It breaks the canonsit is fun to read and is a mine of information. It transforms a collection of stories that are usually dismissed as light reading for children into a powerful tool for understanding how different cultures learn from each otherand also maintain their identities. The author shares her knowledge generouslybut never forgets the basic humanity of the figures about whom she writes. The Men of Chelm would probably say: Start reading and see if you can stop!" -- Shaul StampferSandrow Professor of Soviet and East European Jewish History Hebrew University<br /><br />"How the Wise Men Got to Chelmshows how these stories have changed over time to include debates about the efficacy of Zionism or communism or to discuss the apparent silliness of Hasidic traditions." ― Times Literary Supplement Ruth von Bernuth is Associate Professor in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures and Director of the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. <br /><br /> Nyu Press hardcover
