A Reference Guide to Modern Armenian Literature, 1500-1920
With an Introductory History

Compiled and with an Introduction by Kevork B. Bardakjian		 Armenian literature is a body of work that goes back hundreds of years. Kevork Bardakjian, a scholar recognized for his expertise in Armenian literary culture, brings his knowledge of that corpus to fill a major gap in our understanding of this tradition. This massive volume offers a comprehensive guide to Armenian writers and literature spanning five centuries. Combining features of a reference work, bibliographic guide, and literary history, it records the output of almost four hundred authors who wrote both in Armenia and in the communities of the Armenian diaspora. An indispensable guide for scholars of Armenian literature, Bardakjian's work will be invaluable for teaching and research. Moreover, it offers a new touchstone for appreciating this vast body of literature. "This book will be the indispensable reference consulted by the next generation of anglophone students, scholars, and general readers of Armenian literature."
—Khachig Tololyan, Wesleyan University

Kevork Bardakjian is Professor of Armenian Language and Literature in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan.
