On the Margins of Modernism: Decentering Literary Dynamics - Contraversions: Critical Studies in Jewish Literature, Culture, and Society
Chana Kronfeld
This text counters dominant models of marginality by looking at modernist poetry written in two decentred languages, Hebrew and Yiddish. What results is a model of literary dynamics, one less tied to canonical norms, less limited geographically and less likely to universalize minority experiences.
