Previous owner's bookplate inside front cover else a clean tight copy in the scarce illustrated dustwrapper generally worn and soiled with brief losses at extremities Good to Very Good. Novel of Depression-era Jewish ghetto life in Chicago by the Yiddish poet Noah Steinberg b. 1889. A member in the teens and twenties of the "Die Junge" school of Yiddish poets and playwrights who consciously avoided the social themes of their "Sweatshop Poet" forebears Steinberg appears by the late thirties to have embraced a more proletarian world view; the current work deals frankly with poverty crime anti-Semitism and "the degeneration of the governing class by power largely misused" from the jacket copy. <br/><br/>The book was composed in English though nearly all Steinberg's earlier published work was written in Yiddish. Text Illustrations rather crudely reproduced by S. Witkewitz Louis Lodowick Rinaldo Cuneo Hilda Katz George Grosz others. Uncommon in dustjacket this is a fairly well-preserved copy. Jacket includes a lengthy cover blurb by Tom Cannon composed as a letter to Upton Sinclair and Jim Tully; also brief comments by Sherwood Anderson and Llewellyln Jones. Combo Press unknown books

1815biblio1Pamphlet 8vo removed disbound 35 pp. Mostly disbound a bit soiled folds and creases at edges ink smudge on title aging and toning throughout. Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.
