Description

Set in late-19th-century London, this novel details life in an East End ghetto and explores a spiritual crisis among young Jews, providing an analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life. This edition includes a biographical, historical and critical introduction. 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-19th-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 an analysis of a generation caught between the ghetto and modern British life. «  »Children of the Ghetto » » remains a landmark work of modern Jewish fiction as well as an essential late Victorian text. As the first Jewish East End novel, the book ignited an important 20th-century genre. In a period that saw the development of the working-class novel and the novel of spiritual malaise, «  »Children of the Ghetto » » encompassed both. The novel conveys details of life in the ghetto and explores a spiritual crisis among young Jews at a time when a questioning of beliefs appeared in Christian novels as well. Zangwill’s realistic portrayal intrigued middle-class Jews and elicited nostalgia in those who started out in the East End. Although a novel about British Jews, «  »Children of the Ghetto » » also found success in the US as the first work of fiction published by the Jewish Publication Society of America. 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 accessible to both Jewish and non-Jewish readers.
