Index


“One of Surveying the Avant-Garde’s strengths is to be found in a deft compass for cosmopolitan literary history, which has no geographic home but which navigates ‘a web of European and Latin American alliances’ in Paris, Havana, Madrid, and Buenos Aires.”

—Harris Feinsod, American Literary History
