Title
Parcours et origines de la littérature yiddish montréalaise
Abstract
What is the legacy of Montreal's Yiddish writers? To answer this question, the author provides a number of linguistic reference points and examines the socio-historical and cultural context that led to the appearance of Montreal's specific Yiddish literature. In terms of numbers of authors and texts produced, the author claims that this literature is the most important body of work arising from the phenomenon of literary immigration to Quebec. She argues that recalling its trajectory and origins serves two purposes: it provides an overall historical view of Montreal's Yiddish literature, and it allows us to ask how the work of Yiddish writers is inscribed in Montreal's literary field.
