Zangwill, Israel
View through CrossRef
Israel Zangwill (1864–1926) was a Jewish writer and activist whose career spanned the late Victorian era and early twentieth century. He is best remembered for his fiction about Anglo‐Jewish life, most notably his novelChildren of the Ghetto(1892), and his playThe Melting Pot(1908). In his time, he was also a prolific and admired author of short fiction on both the Jewish experience and more general subjects, as well as novels on contemporary subjects, written mostly in the period 1888–1907. In the twentieth century he turned his attention to drama, much of it commenting on the tense prewar condition of Europe as well as social mores, and to activism on behalf of the British women's suffrage movement, Zionism, and the Jewish Territorial Organization, which he founded, in search of a state with Jewish autonomy wherever one might be found.
