Shemtov, Vered K. and Melih Levi (eds.). 2020. Peripheral Modernisms. Special issue of Dibur Literary Journal, Stanford University
We are excited to announce the publication of “Peripheral Modernisms”, the ninth issue of Stanford University’s Dibur Literary Journal and the first of two issues dedicated to this topic. Contributions to the issue delineate important networks of literary contact and influence in cultures and geographies which have largely remained peripheral to the story of modernism.
