Beschreibung
The Guide, a detailed one-volume reference work with alphabetically ordered entries, is a bio-bibliography of Yiddish culture in Britain, emphasising Jewish life lived-in-Yiddish and based largely on Yiddish sources. It views Yiddish culture in Britain as a small but vital segment of Ashkenazic life showing its lifelines from the Continent and to the New World. It documents the multiple relations which this culture has had with its surroundings, Jewish and non-Jewish. Wholly in English, it includes biographical, bibliographical, historical, linguistic, theatrical and other kinds of information, much of it unavailable elsewhere.

«... a work of reference that will definitely become an indispensable tool for all future researchers in the area, the inevitable starting-point when tracking down information concerning the far-reaching interpenetration of the two cultures.» (Hugh Denman, Times Literary Supplement)
