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.<br /> <br /> 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.
