The Interbellum period represents a time when Jewish immigrant culture in New York City wasvibrant and vital. During this period, writers were able to move freely between their immigrant environments, different languages, and the main avenues of American culture. This dissertation examines six Jewish poets from three literary traditions in the UnitedStates—Hebrew, Yiddish, and American literature. Drawing on archival materials, it paints a new picture of the personal lives and literary works of Abraham Zvi Halevy (1907-1966), Simon Halkin (1898-1987), Charles Reznikoff (1894-1976), J.L. Teller (1912-1972), Berish Vaynshteyn (1902- 1967), and Louis Zukofsky (1904-1978). The central argument is that rather than considering these writers as part of three separate literatures, the geographical space of New York City can be understood as a Jewish literary scene that transcends these literary boundaries. While current scholarship has either examined a single literature or compared twoliteratures—Yiddish and American, Hebrew and Yiddish—it has not analyzed them together and comparatively. To address this lacuna, this dissertation employs a comparative, trilingual approach that provides a more comprehensive account of literary and cultural production in New York City during the Interbellum period. In order to fully appreciate the authors’ work, it is crucial to consider their interactions with different languages and cultures within a broader Jewish American context. The dissertation shows that the linguistic and cultural barriers between these Jewish writerswere more porous than has been assumed. Although each poet is rightly associated with a particular literary tradition, I argue that the writers’ lives, engagement with Jewish tradition and texts, literary experimentation, multilingual poetics, translation, cultural exchange, and representation of the city reveal that their work should be read through a broader conceptual framework. I have called this body of work “The Jewish Literary Scene of Interbellum New York” and have attempted to render it as concrete as possible. In doing so, this dissertation moves beyond studies that have made more general claims about the connections between these disparate literatures to a more formal, archival, and systematic analysis that substantiates those claims.
