About this book

Marc Caplan argues that the literatures of ostensibly marginal modern cultures are key to understanding modernism. Caplan undertakes an unprecedented comparison of 19th-century Yiddish literature and 20th-century Anglophone and Francophone African literature and reveals unexpected similarities between them.
