INTRODUCTION
We present the latest installment in In geveb’s annual effort to gather publications relevant to Yiddish Studies in English from the past calendar year. Collecting these materials draws attention to the latest scholarship in our field(s), underscores growth in Yiddish, and traces trends in scholarship. This list is organized by format in the following categories: books, book chapters, edited volumes, special issues, journal articles, and dissertations. Each entry is followed by a link to access the material online.
If you are interested in compiling a similar list for scholarship published in another language, we encourage you to reach out to us. Please also contact us if you have any suggestions for additions to the current bibliography.
