A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

Preface 1. General

This paper includes two bibliographies of Oscar Wilde's translations and editions. The first one lists the Yiddish translations of his works, and the second is comprised of Wilde's translations into Hebrew.

The bibliographies span more than a century: The first Yiddish translation is from 1905 (The Soul of Man under Socialism) and the first Hebrew one is from 1906 (2 poems from Poems in Prose). All the translations from the early 20th century were done by well-known Jewish writers and scholars, who were prominent figures in the Jewish cultural scene. For the most important of them, in my private opinion, of course, I added some biographical notes and remarks.

2. A (very) Little History

Towards the end of the 19th century, there was a split among the Jewish cultural leadership on which of Yiddish or Hebrew should be the "official" Jewish language. While the Zionist movement cultivated the revival of the Hebrew language, many authors preferred Yiddish. The Bund (The General Jewish Labor Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia) for instance, a secular Jewish socialist party in the Russian Empire, founded in Poland in 1897 and active through 1920, promoted the use of Yiddish as a Jewish national language, and to some extent opposed the Zionist project of reviving Hebrew. For example Yosef Haim Brenner, one of the most prominent literary figure in Palestine in his day, who published the first Wilde's translations in Hebrew, joined The Bund before becoming a Zionist.

It should be noted, though, that there was a large group of scholars and artists who wrote in both languages, but eventually transferred to Hebrew (Such as Falk Heilpern, who translated Wilde's works both to Hebrew and Yiddish). The Yiddish language, being far more common among the Jewish people, was a better suited vehicle to promote culture and literature to the Jewish people, both adults and children.

Up the Second World War, Yiddish was the common "national Jewish language" in Eastern Europe. In Warsaw, for example, there were 11 Yiddish newspapers with a

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

daily circulation of 180,000 copies. The common assumption is that 80% of the Jewish world population prior to the Second World War spoke Yiddish.

The vast Jewish immigration to the United States towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century caused Yiddish to flourish, especially in New- York, resulting in Yiddish theatres, publishers, periodicals, etc.1 But the second Jewish generation of these immigrants distanced itself from the Yiddish language, both because the willingness to be part of the American society, and because the anti- Semitic ambiance in the USA in the eve of the Second World War. In addition, in the context of Wilde's works, this generation could read, of course, the original versions and did not need any Yiddish translations of them.

There are four main reasons for the decline and almost death of the Yiddish language. By far, the most important is the Jewish Holocaust, which exterminated millions of Jews, eliminating, in fact, the vast majority of Yiddish speakers in Europe. The three other reasons are the communist regime, the assimilation process of the American Jews and the Zionists and founders of the state of Israel, who regarded Yiddish as a symbol of exile and diaspora.

And indeed, the latest European translation of Wilde into Yiddish I found is from 1938 (The Devoted Friend, Warsaw: Kinderfraynd, 1938). Besides that, I encountered some in American periodicals like a republishing of Karlin's translation of De Profundis from 1939 and only two short poems-translations in periodicals who came out after World War Two (The latest in the USA is a translation of The Artist from 1956 by Yehezkel Bronshtein2). Though the secular Yiddish culture in Europe was extinct, and the Jews in the USA distanced themselves from it, the Jewish communities in South-America, and mainly Argentine kept on the cultivation of the Yiddish language, teaching it in schools and publishing Yiddish periodicals and books. In 1961, Isaac Isaacson published in Buenos Aires an anthology of world- literature translated to Yiddish, in which he included five of Oscar Wilde's stories (see entry 24 below).

Many of Wilde's works were published in various Yiddish periodicals (both in Europe and America), some of them children's journals and some were literature magazines. I

separated the Yiddish bibliography into individual editions and publications in periodicals.

Now contrary to Yiddish, which is a secular language whose origins date back to 1300, from around 200 CE till the end of the 19th century, Hebrew was regarded only as the language of Jewish liturgy and rabbinic literature. The Hebrew revitalization as a spoken and literary language started in the late 19th century, intimately linked to the Zionist movement and the founding of the modern state of Israel.

The revival of the Hebrew language had to take place in two areas: written-literary Hebrew and spoken Hebrew. Literary Hebrew, which was mostly revived in Europe included writing in areas such as scientific books (for which the vocabulary of scientific and technical terms was greatly increased) and Hebrew language newspapers and magazines. In addition, poets and writers such as David Frishman (who translated Wilde's De Profundis) and Shaul Tschernichovsky began avidly translating European works into Hebrew such as Molière, Goethe, Shakespeare, Homer, Byron, Lermontov, and Aeschylus. At the same time, writers also began to write works of short fiction and novels in Hebrew, using the language to express psychological realism and interiority for the first time.

Judging from the quantity of Wilde's translation into Hebrew and Yiddish, it looks like in the first three decades of the twentieth century, Wilde's works appealed to some of the most prominent literary figures such as Yosef Haim Brenner, David Frishman, Y. H. Tavyov (or Tabiyov) and many more. Salome, for instance, was translated to Hebrew in 1907, twice to Yiddish in 1909 and again in 1921. In addition, many of the editions included extensive introductions dealing with both Wilde's tragic life and his anarchistic and "socialistic" tendencies. The translated editions span across Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin, London, New York and more.

3. Some Translation Issues a. The Hebrew Vocabulary

Since the Hebrew language has been revived, it is permanently evolving and new words are added constantly by The Academy of the Hebrew Language. This evolvement was far more drastic in beginning of the 20th century, since Hebrew, based on the old Jewish liturgy texts, was missing a great number of words since its' 5

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

stagnation. Even today, according to The Academy of the Hebrew Language, the Hebrew language contains 75,000 to 80,000 words (both original and adopted, e.g. "Telephone"), while a low estimate of the total English words is somewhere around a quarter of a million distinct English words3.

This gap presented a problem, especially for the early 20th century translators. And Indeed, when browsing through Tavyov 's translation of "The Picture of Dorian - or "actressa "הּפיַאנֹו - Gray"4, One can find many "adopted" words such as "piano for labyrinth) etc. Or David Frishman's) " לַבִירִינט - for actress), "labirint) " אקטרִיסה " הַבְרֹונְזָה - or "bronza "סִימְבֹול - translation of "De Profundis", using the words "symbol (for bronze).

As the Hebrew language evolved, all these words, and many more, found their way into Hebrew words with almost no need of borrowing foreign words any more. Still, as in any language, some things cannot be translated without losing their ambivalent or other meaning. For example: The Importance of Being Earnest is translated as The Importance of Earnestness, losing the double meaning of the title since there is no Hebrew private name for Ernest.

So we are left with two languages: one is a declining language which hasn't evolved since before the mid-20th century, and the other is a "resurrected" one which is developing constantly. b. The Titles

Looking on the translated work titles, one can see that some of the translators took more liberty than other in deciding on the translated title. For instance: The Selfish Giant is translated mostly as "The Giant and his Garden", The Happy Prince translated as the "Prince and the Swallow"5, The Selfish Giant as "The cruel Giant"6, and the most liberal titles translation, in my opinion, can be found in Nathan Kaplan's Poems in Prose: The Artist translated as "The Sculptor", The Disciple as "The Death of Narcissus", The Doer of Good as "The Prophet" and The House of Judgment as "Before the Throne". c. Jewish Issues

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

I will not go into the issue of Wilde's attitude towards the Jews. This topic was already discussed in numerous papers and books7. But since all of the translation of Wilde works to Yiddish and Hebrew were made by Jewish authors, it is interesting to look at their own attitude towards translating both Jewish motifs and Christian motifs mentioned by Wilde. Wilde's works contain references to Jews and Jewish subjects such as The Ghetto in "The Happy Prince", Isaacs the theater manager in "The Picture of Dorian Gray", The Heroin "Salome" in the same name play, and Simone the merchant in "A Florentine Tragedy".

Dalia Cohen-Gross in her paper Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince: The Case of Hebrew Translation8, points out the evolution of the various treatment of translating the sentence: "He passed over the Ghetto, and saw the old Jews bargaining with each other, and weighing out money in copper scales.", where up to the mid of 20th century, the translators preferred to avoid the word Ghetto and used "solutions" as "the market"9 or "the Jews' street"10. Some even avoided the sentence completely11.

As Cohen-Gross puts it: "The findings reveal that this sentence clearly discomfited translators into Hebrew who were not native Israelis. However, quite possibly the reason is not related entirely to the geography of the translation, but also to Zionist negativism toward the Diaspora and the Jews of the Diaspora, and to a certain degree of tolerance of anti-Semitism in world literature (Weissbrod, 2007). In addition, until recently children’s literature was especially dominated by a protective approach, and to this day stories with an anti-Semitic tone are not published in Israel".

Salome is a totally different story. As I mentioned before, Salome was translated several times in the early 20th century, but no major manipulations were made to the text. Shachar Pinsker in his book Literary Passports: The Making of Modernist Hebrew Fiction in Europe12 claims that the Jewish "Wildemania" and the more specific "Salomemania" (as he puts it) among Hebrew writers "is a profound example of the fascinating relationship between fin de siècle Jews and the world of Europe…. Translating Wilde was part of a broader movement that emphasized the significance of translating important works of contemporary European literature into Hebrew and Yiddish in order to enrich and advance it. Furthermore, there is no doubt that in the case of Salome/Shlomit the perceived "Jewishness" of the main female character, as

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

well as the pseudo-biblical style of the play….was part of Brenner's motivation for translating and publishing the play. Indeed, the story of Salome is based on the New Testament and the writing of Josephus Flavius, the language of Wilde's play relies heavily on the Song of Songs.". Furthermore, Pinsker thinks that the Jewish scholars were attracted to decadent and sexual subjects, in order to be part of the advanced aspects of the European culture of that time.

In the first translation of The Picture of Dorian Gray into Hebrew13, Isaacs, the theater manager, is introduced to the reader by Wilde as a "hideous" but translated In the latest translation14, both "hideous" and "horrid" are .(מלֻכלך) "into "dirty It seems to me that the translators to Hebrew tried to .(דוחה) "translated as "repulsive diminish Wilde's adjectives describing Isaacs.

The last work I will mention in this section is The Selfish Giant. More specifically - the stigmata (Jesus wounds) mentioned in the end of the story. Some translators, being faced with a Christian symbol in a fairy tale, intended for young Jewish children, hesitated on how to approach the symbol of the stigmata. Some translated it accurately15, some omitted it completely by changing the text16 while another changed "the prints of two nails" into "the prints of two fingernails"17. It looks like, though, when the story is published for adults, the translators do justice with Wilde and translate the stigmata accurately18.

4. Some notes on the bibliographies editing

This bibliography is a product of a vast research through various library catalogues, the Internet and other sources. Though I cannot assure that this is a full and complete bibliography, I believe that it contains the vast majority of Wilde editions in Hebrew and Yiddish. I did stumble, however, into translations mentioned in literature sources, which I couldn't locate and verify. E.g. Zalman Reyzn's Leksikon fun der Yidisher Literatur, Prese, un Filologi ("Lexicon of Yiddish Literature, Press, and Philology"), mentions a translation of Lady Windermere's Fan and The Ballad of Reading Gaol into Yiddish by Joseph Heftman, and a story by Wilde (no details) translated into Yiddish as well by Nehemia Kaplan, published in New York, 1916.

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

The entries in each bibliography are by chronological order. I tried to locate as much as possible texts and cover images of the editions and added them to the relevant entries.

Titles I found available online are marked with endnotes pointing to the internet link addresses.

I was reluctant to include some Hebrew children's editions of Wilde's tales such as The Selfish Giant, since some were mere commercial adaptations without much value concerning this bibliography. I tried to include only the ones that were translated by well-known translators of children's prose.

Some of Wilde's stories appeared from time to time in various schools' textbooks, (e.g. The Devoted Friend was included in Mikra'ot Gedolot - a literature schoolbook for the sixth grade, edited by Nathan Persky, Massada, 1977). These are not included as well.

Contrary to the Yiddish bibliography, where I tried to locate all of Wilde's single works published in periodicals, the Hebrew bibliography does not include such a section. Many of Wilde's poems appeared from time to time in Hebrew periodicals and literature magazines. For example - in December 1st 2000, the centennial of Oscar Wilde's death, Haaretz literature supplement included some articles and translations devoted to Wilde, among them: My Voice (from poems 1879) and The Artist (from Poems in Prose) translated by Yael Globerman, and Flower of Love (from Poems 1879), translated as The Bittersweetness of Love by Ben-Zion Ben-Moshe (first Hebrew translation). Another example is the poem The Harlot's House (from poems 1879), translated by Ronen Sonis, (published in Keshet Hadasha, a quarterly for literature, 2003 no. 3 pp. 172-173). On the other hand, I did include major works or translations of works published in periodicals, which I considered valuable for this bibliography. Such are excerpts from The Decay of Lying translated by Abraham Regelson (Hapo'el Hatza'ir, 1967), or the translation of The Ballad of Reading Gaol (Part I only) by Yaakov Orland, (Davar, 1947), who translated the complete work in 197719. I tried to be careful with anthologies that include Wilde's works. While I included stories and major works, I was reluctant to include poems published sporadically in poetry anthologies such as: Symphony in Yellow (p. 23) and

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

Requiescat (p. 106), translated by Gila Uriel and published in The World of a Poet (Tel-Aviv: Reshafim, 1992, 240 p.), or Requiescat (p. 146) translated by Joshua Kochav, published in Flowers from Overseas Countries - an Anthology of the Poetry of the English Language in Hebrew Translation vol. 3 (Tel-Aviv: Ophir Books, 1995).

When dealing with Wilde's plays and theatrical productions, I included translations that are publicly published (some staged and some not). Some texts can be found in theaters or other libraries, but were not published under a publishing house and available to the public. Two translations of The Importance of Being Earnest, for instance, were published (Tavyov in 1920, Shteinberg, 1988), but the play was produced at least three times with other translations (Yaakov Orland, The Kameri Theater, 1953, Ido Riklin, The Ramat-Gan Theater, 1993 and Yoram Kaniuk, Habima, 1996). A Florentine Tragedy was included in the Kameri Theater very first performance, translated by Yemima Milo in 1944. There are five translations into Hebrew of Salome in the bibliography, though the play was staged several times with individual translations (Dori Parnas, The Laboratory, 2005, Yuval Zamir, Teatron Hasimta, 2009).

3. Anecdotal Entries

While compiling the Yiddish bibliography, I came across some Yiddish translations of works attributed to Oscar Wilde which, at first, I was not familiar with and couldn't find them among the author's published works. Some titles remained a mystery ("The Heart", translated by Binyamin Kremer, Warsaw, 1912; "A remarkable Model" translated by Dov Mansklayd, Warsaw, 1913 (Probably: The model Millionaire?); "Still Words" translated by Avraham Ayssen, New York, 1929 and "Heels of Glory" translated by Ayssen as well, New York, 1954), but I did locate the sources for two works attributed to Wilde: a. "Jezebel"

The first, entitled "Jezebel", was translated by Sara Reisen84 (1885-1974) (Warsaw: Literarishe Bleter85, No. 3 May 21, 1926 pp. 329-330).

This work is listed in the appendix "Questionable Texts" in The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Volume 1, Poems and Poems in Prose, edited by Karl Beckson and Bobby Fong, Oxford University Press, USA (July 2000). It is part of four poems in prose which were included by Vyvyan Holland in Son of Oscar Wilde (1954; revised edition, London: Robinson 1999): 'The Poet', 'The Actress', 'Simon of Cyrene' and 'Jezebel'. Holland's source was a privately printed twelve-page pamphlet entitled Echoes. This pamphlet, according to Mrs. Gabrielle Enthoven (1868-1950), was 31

A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde Editions in Yiddish and Hebrew

printed for her somewhere between 1880 and 1883. Enthoven presented it to the British Museum along with a note claiming that she recorded the stories sometimes after Oscar Wilde told them to her and left. Some years later, though, between January and October 1912, the same four poems were printed in The Mask: a Quarterly Journal of the Art of the Theatre (edited by Gordon Craig and published in Florence). The interesting thing is that each story had a similar claim of being written after told by Oscar Wilde, this time by Aimee Lowther (1871-1935). (For more information on these poems, Wilde, Enthoven and Lowther see The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Volume 1, Poems and Poems in Prose pp. 217-218).

Sara Reisen had, probably, in her possession a copy of The Mask, since in her translation she notes: "This story was told by Wilde to Miss Aimee Lowther when a child and written out by her", which is the same preface that appeared in The Mask before each poem:

Norbert Kohl in his book Oscar Wilde: The Works of a Conformist Rebel (European Studies in English Literature), Cambridge University Press; Reissue edition (March 3, 2011) analyzes the poem (pp.313-314):

Der Onheib86 was a literary anthology in Yiddish published by Vostok, Berlin, 1922 (168 p.) and edited by D. Einhorn, S. Gorelik and M. Weinreich. The booklet includes segments from works by Max Brod, Else Lasker-Schüler, Oscar Wilde, the collection’s editors, and others. The cover is designed and illustrated by Menachem Birnbaum:

and translated ,(דער געלערנטער) The piece attributed to Wilde was entitled The Scholar by Schmarja Gorelik87 (1877-1942). The short preface states that a French journal published an unknown story by Oscar Wilde. A Parisian friend of his, Lautorette, [sic] heard it from him in a bar in 1989 at the time where Wilde walked already through his suffering path:

And indeed, John Stokes, in his book Oscar Wilde: Myths, Miracles and Imitations, (Cambridge University Press, 1966), mentions Louis Latourrette telling the same story, and calling it Un savant célèbre (pp31-32):
