A History of Modern Hebrew Literature

This book is a new and comprehensive history of modern Hebrew literature that revitalizes older histories while integrating contemporary theories on literature, culture, identity, and canon formation.The collection aims to deterritorialize this history by emphasizing the broad geographic spread of Hebrew literary activity, encompassing developments before and beyond the State of Israel.By expanding the scope of representation, this updated history provides a platform for a more diverse array of contributors and highlights previously understudied communities and works.This approach allows for a richer understanding of modern Hebrew literature, recognizing its global contexts and the varied voices that have shaped its evolution.
