Catalogue summary
A study of Armenian diaspora print culture examines literary criticism in France, Egypt, and the United States from 1919 to 1928 after the genocide. Western Armenian newspapers carried a debate between cultural preservation and literary innovation, making literature both an aesthetic practice and a social institution.
Why this matters
The dissertation shows how criticism, education, and periodical publishing helped dispersed Armenian communities maintain identity while arguing over literary direction.
