I will argue for a broader conception of literary modernism that incorporates the “peripheral” literatures of East-Central Europe and will explore the implications that these neglected traditions hold for standard accounts of modernism. My claims will be framed by current theoretical debates on transnationalism, multiculturalism, and the canons of modernism.
