505			_a"Celebrated throughout the Yiddish world, Montreal writer Jacob Isaac Segal (1896-1954) paved the way for a literary movement in the North American Jewish diaspora. Pierre Anctil has written so much more than a biography: Segal's poetic oeuvre is annotated, translated, rigorously analyzed, and complemented by a wealth of additional information in extensive appendices. All this serves to shed a bright light on the artistic, spiritual, cultural and historical importance of the Montreal poet's body of work. By introducing the reader to the poet through previously unpublished translations, Anctil reveals how this body of work reflects the history of the Jewish immigrants who arrived in North America from Russia, the Ukraine and Poland in the early 20th century, as well as the tragic experiences of Jewish intellectual refugees during the interwar period.

505			_aThis admirably written, sweeping yet subtle work will appeal to scholars and general readers alike." (Book Jacket)
