The task of transition, the Paris-based literary journal he edited with his wife Maria Jolas and others between 1927 and 1938, was to translate European culture for Americans, and vice versa. transition\u2019s list of contributors reads like a Who\u2019s Who of the international avant-garde. Jolas\u2019 wealth of contacts in the literary world arose from his previous job writing the column \u2018Rambles Through Literary Paris\u2019 for the Chicago Tribune Paris edition. The romantic, imagination-driven strain of modernism that Jolas promoted led to a close relationship with Expressionism and Surrealism. Publishing non-anglophone experimental writing in translation or (after 1933) in the original language was a major focus of transition. Jolas also provided English translations of key European modernist texts outside the magazine, including Alfred D\u00f6blin\u2019s Berlin Alexanderplatz (1931).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4324\/9781135000356-rem101-1","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,10]],"date-time":"2018-09-10T14:11:00Z","timestamp":1536588660000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Jolas, Eugene (1894\u20131952)"],"prefix":"10.4324","author":[{"given":"Julian","family":"Hanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute"}]}],"member":"301","container-title":["Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,10]],"date-time":"2018-09-10T14:11:13Z","timestamp":1536588673000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.rem.routledge.com\/articles\/jolas-eugene-1894-1952-1"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[null]]},"ISBN":["9781135000356"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4324\/9781135000356-rem101-1","relation":{},"subject":[]}}
