Chana Kronfeld counters these dominant models of marginality by looking instead at modernist poetry written in two decentered languages, Hebrew and Yiddish. What results is a bold new model of literary dynamics, one less tied to canonical norms, less limited geographically, and less in danger of universalizing the experience of minority writers. Kronfeld examines the interpenetrations of modernist groupings through examples of Hebrew and Yiddish poetry in Europe, the U.S., and Israel. Her discussions of Amichai, Fogel, Raab, Halpern, Markish, Hofshteyn, and Sutskever will be welcomed by students of modernism in general and Hebrew and Yiddish literatures in particular.Contraversions (Stanford, Calif.) ;2.Hebrew poetry, ModernHistory and criticismMarginality, Social, in literatureYiddish poetryHistory and criticismHebrew poetry, ModernHistory and criticism.Marginality, Social, in literature.Yiddish poetryHistory and criticism.892.41091Kronfeld Chana1152974MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495873503321On the Margins of Modernism2862191UNINA
