Abstract

This chapter discusses modern Hebrew literature – from early 20th-century authors like Haim Nahman Bialik and Shmuel Yosef Agnon to more recent ones, such as Erez Biton and Ronit Matalon – as a ‘migrant literature’, whose history is rooted in a set of shifting physical and cultural geographies and in the circulation of people, ideas and styles from the Diaspora to the Land of Israel and viceversa. By conceiving modern Hebrew literature as a ‘migrant literature’, it is possible to better understand its inner heterogeneity and multilingualism, as well as its being part of a wide landscape of ‘Jewish literatures’ that cuts across Europe, the Middle East and other spaces.
