    Der Nister (Pinkhes Kahanovitsh, 1884-1950) is widely regarded as the most enigmatic author in modern Yiddish literature. His pseudonym, which translates as 'The Hidden One', is as puzzling as his diverse body of works, which range from mystical symbolist poetry and dark expressionist tales to realist historical epic. Although part of the Kiev Group of Yiddish writers, which also included David Bergelson and Peretz Markish, Der Nister remained at the margins of the Yiddish literary world throughout his life, mainstream success eluding him both in- and outside the Soviet Union. Yet, to judge from the quantity of recent research and translation work, Der Nister is today one of the best remembered Yiddish modernists. The present collection of twelve original articles by international scholars re-examines Der Nisters cultural and literary legacy, bringing to light new aspects of his life and creative output Introduction: Der Nister, Real and Imaginary -- 1 Der Nister's 'Hamburg Score' / GENNADY ESTRAIKH -- 2 Der Nister's Hebrew Nosegay / JORDAN FINKIN -- 3 Andersens Mayselekh and Der Nister's Symbolist Agenda / KERSTIN HOGE -- 4 A mayse mit a hon.
