Part 3 presents a brief history of Yiddish poetry in America, concentrating on the translations of Walt Whitman into Yiddish and of abundant Yiddish literature into English. [...]I. J. Schwartz drew on his familiarity with Whitman and the Bible to write a Yiddish epic called Kentucky (1925), about a Jewish pioneer in the American wilderness. "Productive" is a word that recurs in the chapter and book, as, for instance, when Levinson writes that the burst of fiction resulting from Jewish American writers' involvement with Howe and Greenberg's work indicates "the productive role of translation in the unfolding of Jewish literary culture in America after the war" (188).
