H.-M. Caiserman, critique littéraire du Canada-français
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that one of the more interesting issues concerning the emergence of a Canadian Yiddish literature is the part played in this creative process by the already existing Anglophone and Francophone literatures of Canada. Did Yiddish Canadian authors read the better known authors of their adopted country? How much inspiration did they find in the writings of their more established counterparts, notably those who had explored Canadian nature and had sought to put in place a "national literature", either in English or in French? The author finds clues to this important process of adjustment in the unpublished manuscripts of a leading literary figure of Yiddish Montreal, Hannaniah Meir Caiserman (1884-1950), who proposed early in the twentieth century to bring Yiddish Canadian literature closer to Canadian themes. The author summarizes Caiserman's argument in this respect and presents his vision as to how Yiddish poets in Canada should also consider themselves full-fledged Canadian authors.
