One of the towering figures of his generation in Hebrew literature, his reputation in that regard resting largely on his poetry, Schneour (or Shneour) was born in Belarus in 1887; he shifted to writing in Yiddish after the Great War, the present works written, like the majority of his work to that point, in Paris, where he had for the most part resided since 1907 - he left in 1940 following Nazi occupation, and lived thereafter in the U.S. Though born (Joseph Lewkowitz) in the Netherlands, the translator had lived in London since the age of five, and counted himself one of the 'Whitechapel Boys', along with Mark Gertler, Isaac Rosenberg, David Bomberg, Jacob Kramer, John Rodker, et al. These were Schneour's first works to be translated into English, the first two instalments in a five-work cycle.
