Abstract:
This paper analyses Israel Joshua Singer’s Yiddish novel Di brider Ashkenazi (The Brothers Ashkenazi) and Maria Dąbrowska’s Polish novel Noce i dnie (Nights and Days), two family novels from the interwar period in Poland. I contend that this genre provided the writers with the possibility of portraying the significant social changes of the early 20th century.
