In this multidisciplinary essay collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish Jewish culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery--from Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Lódź--and international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCompanion website (https: \/\/polishjewishmusic.iu.edu)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalina Goldberg is a professor of music and chair of the Department of Musicology at Indiana University-Bloomington.
