Book Description:
This volume brings back to print the 1895 edition of Children of the Ghetto, the latest American version known to have been corrected by the author.
From the Back Cover:
In its first appearance in 1892, Israel Zangwill's Children of the Ghetto created a sensation in both England and America, becoming the first Anglo-Jewish bestseller and establishing Zangwill as the literary voice of Anglo-Jewry. A novel set in late nineteenth-century London, Children of the Ghetto gave an inside look into an immigrant community that was almost as mysterious to the more established middle-class Jews of Britain as to the non-Jewish population, providing a compelling analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life. This volume brings back to print the 1895 edition of Children of the Ghetto, the latest American version known to have been corrected by the author. Meri-Jane Rochelson places the novel in proper context by providing a biographical, historical, and critical introduction; a bibliography of primary and secondary sources; and notes on the text, making this ground-breaking novel accessible to a new generation of readers, both Jewish and non-Jewish alike.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ¿The Children of the Ghettö is a 1892 novel by British author Israel Zangwill (1864¿1926). The first book in Zangwill's ¿of the Ghetto' books, which offers an insight into the generation of Jewish immigrants caught between the ghetto and modern British life in the late nineteenth century. When first published this book brought him instant international fame. A fascinating and thought-provoking novel not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works in Zangwill's ¿of the Ghetto' series. Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Other notable works by this author include: ¿Dreamers of the Ghettö (1898) and ¿Ghetto Tragedies¿ (1899). Highly recommended for fans and collectors of Zangwill's seminal literature. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from ¿English Humourists of To-Day¿ by J. A. Hammerton. Seller Inventory # 9781445556406
