Service and Dependability 137 Cone St., N. W. WA. 9800 THE JEW IN ENGLISH LITERATURE (Continued from Page 11) was a firm believer in the power of his race, and much of his writing is filled with the defense and exaltation of the Jewish race. This defense ap pears in "Contarini Fleming/’ and in “Coningsby,” but most of all in "Tancred.” In the latter story he re gards Christianity as the Judaism of the multitude, but it3 substantial greatness is all Jewish, for Judaism is "the church in which Jesus was born and which he never quitted.” Within the past two decades there has come into vogue stories dealing with scenes of Jewish life. The cen tury-long segregation of the Jews from the communal life of the people among whom they dwell has develop ed naturally social customs and con ditions peculiar to themselves. Even up to the present, time they have es tablished Jewish centers in large cities of England and America, and conditions created by these centers have furnished literary material for many writers. Though many Christ ian writers can enter into an under standing of these conditions and describe them with sympathy and feel ing, their best interpreters are nat urally Jews themselves. Of these Eng lish Jewish writers in the realm of fiction, the foremost is Israel Zang- will. Zangwill received a commission from the Jewish Publication Society of America to write a novel about Jewish life, and the result was "Child ren of the Ghetto.” His perfect under standing of the conditions which he pictures, his complete comprehension of their psychological background, combined with his brilliant style, pro duced a remarkable work that com manded the attention of the literary world. His latest drama was "The Melting Pot” wherein he pictures the assimilative powers of the republic and attacks the inter-marriage prob lem. Samuel Gordon, like Zangwill, wrote from practical experience. His chief novels of Jewish life are "Daughters of Shen,” "Lesser Destinies,” "Sons of the Covenant” and "Unto Each Man, His Own.” In the field of the drama, the Jews have not until recent years figured numerously as dramatic writers. Among the first of the century were C. Z. Barnett, Leopold Lewis, Charles Salaman. Charles Klein is numbered among the most successful of modern dramatists. He has written a number of plays that have been uniformly successful, such as "A Mile A Min ute,” "The District Attorney,” "Hon. John Grigsby,” "The Auctioneer,” "The Music Master,” and "The Lion and the Mouse.” In all fields of literary effort, the Jew, especially in England, is receiv ing ever kinder notice. The weaken ing of the power of dogmatic theology, the disappearance of superstition, the growing spirit of humanitarianism and freedom, the removal of political disabilities, all lead to a clearer knowledge that dispels much of the misty prejudice which ignorance orig inated. Art is transition and truth in art prevails in the end. And so I may close with a note of hope that the Jew will reach even greater heights in the literary world of the future.
